Growing Roses from Seed: Collect Hips, Clean and Save Seeds
Collect rose hips from your garden, clean, dry and save the seeds - these can be the first steps in growing your own roses. I grow many of my species roses this way, including the Sweet Briar rose, the Scots rose and Rosa rubrifolia. From this stage, you can continue on to cool/moist stratification for 8 to 12 weeks, or you can dry the seeds very well and store them at room temperature. I've had some seeds remain viable after 4 years of dry storage. Maybe you can comment below the video if you've kept them longer.
I also made comment in the video about the "floating" seeds viability, and how some of these are empty. That's my experience, but I also have to say that for some species (notably some of my rugosas) basically ALL of the seeds floated, but I still was able to germinate seeds from the batch. So, your mileage may vary.
If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
