Second seedling

4 years ago

I had seedling come up this winter from my last batch of seeds. I had several hips from Irene Ford(hyrbid perpetual/ bourbon), julia child and a mix of hips from older hyrbid teas. So far the seedling has long sepals and seems to be growing well.

That's going to be very exciting to see it grow larger. Do you think there's any chance of a flower this year?

If it's not from a once blooming rose it should bloom fairly quickly. With once blooming roses it can take up to 3 years to bloom because it needs old wood to bloom on.

Post some pictures please!

Well...I asked over on the Forum 'Name That Plant' and someone identified it as a Linden Tree. I haven't seen any of those in our whole neighborhood and there is a good 20 of them all over my front bed. We added mulch last fall and the only thing I can think of is that the seeds were in the mulch. There is a link below showing what a Linden Tree seedling looks like. So I may pot one up just for kicks, but I will be pulling the rest. Happy to know what they are. pm2 Here is a link that might be useful: Linden Tree Seedling

That seedling is very pretty. It kinda reminds me of Chicago Candy Cane. That is an oldie but it really stands out in the garden. I really like it!! Yours has more bells and whistles and I 'm sure will stand out all the more. Lovely!!! I'm just seeing scapes on my first seedlings. They are last years. I have scapes on about 30% which is really good for the north from what I understand. My seedlings are all dips and mostly unusual forms and spiders. (love those spiders) So they have clumped up nicely. One seedling has 3 scapes already. it's only 18 months old. Cool eh!!! I lost the marker over the winter....but I know one of the parents is Apple Swirl. The scapes are taller than apple swirl's already so that is a bonus! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!:) Ange

We plant in rows that are a foot apart with about 5 inches between the seedlings. I agree with Shive, if you want your plants to bloom quickly, they need more root room than they have. In our garden, we start our seeds about late January--March, plant them in the ground in June or July and have most of them bloom the following season.

Here’s the bloom today. The color is a deep Cherry color similar to the red China’s. So far I can’t detect a fragrance.

The bloom opens fully today. I noticed there is a slight old rose fragrance on it. I am thinking about giving it a formal name like an old rose and naming it “countess van Argyll” after an ancestor.

Here’s the seedling next to zephrine drouhun. I think it is likely a hybrid Tea seedling but I found it interesting that it’s bloom form was similar to ZD and never went completely flat like ZD

Finally, it open. It looks so.much like ZD even the colour and button eye. Is one of the parents is ZD ? Not bad !! Now, I can't wait for it to matures...lol
Congrats !!! She is a beauty :)
Keep the name that you like..I rather have names which is easier for me than numbers which I usually forgets.

Im not sure what rose this seedling came from but I know the open pollinated seeds I had planted were either from a found perpetual/ bourbon similair to MIP or an older hybrid tea. I tried to keep my seed planting Organised , but I had a lot of seed so I put the left over seed in a raised bed and had forgot about it till I found this seedling. The foliage seems to be slightly glossy when compared with my old roses.

At least it grew and that is a nice surprise. I heard growing seeds takes lots of time , prep work and luck by the time you totally forget about it until you see a seedling.
You do have a green thumb !

I checked the foliage today and it isn’t as modern as I had thought initially.. Its new foliage seems to match my found rose Irene Ford and the older foliage seems to match as well. So I’m thinking it is more likely a hyrbid perpetual or bourbon. Its started to put on a lot of growth and form new Buds, so it’s looking like it might be a reliable repeater.

What a beautiful rose! Good fragrance is a must for a rose, in my opinion. Are the edges of this rose’s petals light colored ? It almost looks like the petals are outlined, a lovely effect.

Garden Nut, your rose looks beautiful. I also love the petals that looks outline and wishing I can smell it. I wonder how tall it is going to be ?
Congrats !!

A very special rose grown from a seedling.

Another bloom opened up today. This white outline isn’t as noticeable like the other blooms, but it has a strong old rose fragrance.

Is the white edge on the petals more distinct now? Almost seems like it. Is white outline on rose petals a known trait? I really like the effect, but have never heard of it before.

It is more noticeable today but in person the outline is not as strong as it was on the earlier blooms. the rose I collected the seed from has no outline and the form is more cupped. https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.78592.0&tab=36

Thats very pretty! I had two rose seedlings come up by my bird bath that is in my veggie garden this spring. They are also near a big perennial salvia plant. The birds must have planted them. The only rose that had large hips over the winter was Tess. I'm afraid to separate them from the salvia until they are bigger.
