I just wanted to plant some more in my backyard, but don't want to go to the store and buy seeds.
How can I extract rose seeds from a rose?
When the Rosehip on the Rose is dry you can peel open and take the seeds out.
I should tell you that commercial rose growers take at least a few years to get a rose to blooming size. and then discard most of them as they are not up to par.
Reply:You have to cut open a rose hip to get the seeds. Not all roses get seeds, due to the fluffy flowers.
Roses are usually propogated by cuttings. It is faster and easier to do than growing from seed. You can take a branch and have a plant ready to flower in a year.
Cut off a branch that does not have flowers. Should have atleast 2 sets of leaves. Most often a piece about 8" long is used. Place the cut end in potting soil of ground and keep it nicely watered. It will grow roots and leaves and bloom much sooner than a plant from seed.
Reply:ok i learned how to do this about 10 weeks ago ok so on your rose bush there should be rose flowers and if they get pollenated (about half of the plant gets pollenated) and if there is a huge bud where the rose use to be you cut it off and it has to be a red orangish colour and get a knife and make an insission and cut it open and do not worry about damaging the seeds they are alright and get the seeds put them in water and the seeds that float chuck them out but the ones that sink stay in and put them in a moist paper towel and then put in a little zip bag and pt it in the fridge for 4-6 weeks and they should germinate then carfully plant them in the groung at about 2 cm deep now this takes 6 weeks but the rose will have a different colour depending on what it was pollenated with bu if you want the exact same flower just get the end of a rose branch and cut it off at about 30-40cm and put it in the ground at about 6 cm deep about half of the branches will succsesfully grow but to make it definet you should put in powder but i forgot what it was but it helps it make roots but half of them should make their own roots hope this info helps
