Probably a climber. I have lots of Fourth of July self seedlings, and they almost always are climbers, just like mom. I haven't registered any of them, though, because I don't think any of them are as good of a rose as Fourth of July. If any of you want to try your hand at germinating rose seeds, Fourth of July is a good one to start with -- easy, peasy to get growing.

Root them in moist, not soggy course sand, perlite, or vermiculite. You could also do a mixture of vermiculite and sand. Or you could use a seed starting mix as a medium. Potting soil I have found that works well for my hydrangeas isn't giving me results for my roses. I do know people that have rooted them in potting mix though, it just isn't working for me. I use a large plastic tote as a mini greenhouse and just mist occasionally to keep the humidity up. I don't mist daily, more every other day. I use a spray bottle with 10% hydrogen peroxide and water to prevent fungus. Once you see fungus, you might as well throw a cutting out. Take the cutting from green canes, but not tender shoots. Do not use old brown wood cuttings as these are harder to root. You want the cutting to have at least two sets of leaf nodes and it needs to be around 6 inches long and about the diameter of a pencil. Take the cuttings in the morning and immediately put them in water. One of the sets of nodes you will pick the leaves off and will be buried in the medium for rooting, the other you set of leaf nodes will be above the medium and you want at least 2-3 leaves for photosynthesis. Cut the rose cutting with a clean diagonal cut. You want around an inch of stem below the leaf nodes. Scrape the area below the bottom leaf nodes with a knife to expose the white cambium layer on both sides of the cutting. Soak the cutting in water for a bit to make sure its hydrated then dip the cutting in rooting hormone up to the leaf nodes as this will be the part that will go into the medium for rooting. Poke a hole in the medium and place your cutting making sure the medium covers the nodes. Tamp down the medium to secure the cutting in place. Place the cutting in a large zip lock bag or tote and mist lightly inside to add moisture. Keep in indirect sunlight (in front of a window, or under a weak plant light). Roses take longer than hydrangeas. I can get a hydrangea to start roots in a couple of weeks or less, but roses may take up to 2 months. If your cutting begins to rot, throw it out, cut back on your watering as you don't want them to be sitting in too soggy of medium, and try again. Only water when the medium feels dry. Use 4 inch starter pots or even plastic cups with holes poked in the bottom, but make sure the container drains well. I hope I covered everything. lol

Beautiful color combo with the house colors in the background. Christopher was right about the dramatic effect.

Even Mr. Moore agreed Linda Campbell was likely his "masterpiece". No one rose (or any other plant) succeeds everywhere, but where conditions please her, she is spectacular. Quite an amazing result from a miniature and Rugosa! There is enough mini to allow her to endure heavy pruning and still flower like a weed, root well and not sucker all over the place. That mini blood also allows her to be sprayed much better than Rugosas will tolerate. But, it also enables her to experience fungal issues many Rugosas don't generally experience where disease pressures are heavier. In longer, hotter climates, she doesn't hold on to the foliage too long and then rust and black spot dreadfully as MOST hybrid rugosas do. No plant is perfect, but this one comes closer than any other hybird rugosa I've ever grown. You should also look at Topaz Jewel in harsher climates. I'm glad you have Linda. She deserves to be widely grown!
