This is the only one I have left from the first year I did seeds. She's planted in the ground and is a good 5 feet tall. Hardly seedling any more, lol! I call her Miss Pitty Pat, my code name mip0206. She's from an OP seed from Madame Isaac Pereire in 2006

Next is one named Maryjane after my best friend since kindergarten, code name mj0107. An OP seed from Morning Jewel in 2007

Whimsy, code wim1609, OP from Women in Military

Lynnette code lyn2210 OP Lynnie

Lynda code lyn0410 OP from Lynnie

These are delightful, thank you for sharing! Amateur rose breeding seems like a lot of fun, I'm not expecting much but I can't wait to experiement next year myself.

Thank you for sharing these, Seil! They are really lovely...and inspirational! :-)

I love all of them especially Miss Pitty Pat (great name) & Blueness.♡♡♡

You have some fun shapes there, Seil! I like them!

The first two are especially to my liking !!

I have about one hundred hips I've collected from crosses done this summer, I'm gonna be in over my head with rose seedlings if germination goes well !

Wow so pretty pretty. I always wanted to try this but have never been brave enough to do it. Your seedlings are gorgeous.

Oh wow...I can barely grow Rose's but this is so tempting

Thank you all! If you are interested at all in trying to grow some seedlings of your own, and I highly recommend it, go to this thread and my explanation on how easy it is to do!

I started out with just a handful of hips that only produced a dozen seedlings. My best year was 2010 when I had well over 200 seedlings from that crop of hips. Plus what I already had I was close to 500 babies! Way too much for me to handle. Between culling and winter kill it's now down to just a dozen babies left. They're my favorites and I'm happy with them.

I haven't done any seeds the last couple of years because I was sick but I have a handful of hips I picked this week to start this coming January!

They're all beautiful Seil, but my favs are Miss Pitty Pat, Blueness and Lynette. I just like saying the name Miss Pitty Pat! Can't wait to see what you come up with next year!

Love every one of them, Seil, but especially Maryjane and the ones from Lynnie. I think I will have to call Burling for that pretty rose since I haven't seen it anywhere else.

I brought in 2 baggies of hips this afternoon. We have to wait until January? Can I do this with the tiny hips from Ballerina and DEnigma? May need a jeweler's loupe and surgical knife for those.

I have 3 little rose seedlings that just came up out of nowhere in a pot of salvias that I was growing.

At first I thought birds planted them but now I'm thinking that a squirrel probably found the hip and buried along with acorns they bury everywhere around here. Tess was the only one nearby with huge mature hips and some had dropped off.

How long did the seedlings take to flower?

These are stunning! And I love the names you chose for them too. Do you plan on bringing these to market? If so, how can I give you my money??

Thank you!

No, flowers, you don't have to wait until January. I do mine then because I'm too busy during the Holiday season and then I get the post Christmas blues in my long dark cold winter. Doing the seeds then gives me something rosey to do to keep my spirits up

Sultry, I've had seedlings bloom as early as 6 weeks after germination. 8 to 10 weeks is more the average though. However, if your seedling is a once bloomer it can take up to 3 years to have its first bloom..

The longest I have waited for a seedling to flower was seven years. It wasn't worth it. If you don't have a flower within the first three, only waste your time, room and water if you have surpluses of them.

Seil, that's a good plan to know you have something waiting for you to do after all the festivities.

Kim, you reminded me of my late bloomer. Not a seedling, but it took 15 years for Country Living, Austin, to bloom. It wasn't in the way, so I never took the time to remove it. I did a double take and stopped dead in my tracks as I walked past it 3 years ago and there was a big, fluffy peachy pink bloom. Definitely not prolific, but they're lovely.

Seil, those are pretty and I like the names. I especially like the picture of Pookie. Tadpole is a great name.

I didn't grow any from seed last year. The year before they were all duds except one from Carefree Sunshine which looked just like it so it didn't count. Still, I really like Carefree Sunshine.

I was given a found rose from the grave of Daniel Boone's niece, Eleanor Clark. I was excited about it but in about four years it has not bloomed at all. I propagated it and have another plant of it in different soil but it too has not bloomed. It's an interesting clump of short vertical stems with small leaves. The person who gave it to me said it's striped so I guess he's seen it bloom. But after awhile it's just not worth it to me to keep watering a non bloomer. 15 years is a long time to wait on Country Living, Flowers. You must not be pressed for space.

I collected a baggie full of hips this weekend, too. Can’t wait to get them going. :-)

These are lovely, Seil, and how wonderful to have your own seedlings. I especially like Miss Patty Pat, Mme Isaac Pereire has long been a garden favorite among the old roses...
