WANTED: Seeds from species (?) roses

23 years ago

Hi everyone - I would love to grow roses from seed, and have read that species ones are easier, and come true to type (usually!) - wondering if anyone has been saving seed?? I can exchange for cuttings (only have a small amount of roses though!), or assorted seeds (vege, flower, herb, etc) Thanks, Mandy

R. eglanteria does not have the normal splitting of the chromosomes where both parents contribute equal numbers. R. eglanteria has 35 chromosomes. The egg gets 28, the pollen gets only 7. The signifance in your case is that even if a foreign pollen did the fertilizing to form your seed, the resultant plant will still look very similar to the mother.
