Use & Care
Sow rose seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix and keep the medium consistently moist in bright light. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting into a sunny spot with good airflow. Because roses grown from seed can vary, you may see differences in bloom color and growth habit from one seedling to the next.
Questions & Answers
Will my plants produce flowers exactly like the photos?
Not necessarily. Roses grown from seed are the result of pollination, so seedlings may vary in color, fragrance, and growth. Cuttings are the way to reliably reproduce a named rose like Distant Drums; growing from seed is best treated as a unique gardening adventure.
Where should I plant my rose seedlings?
Choose a location that receives plenty of sunlight and has good airflow. Keep the soil consistently moist as the seedlings establish, then water regularly once planted outdoors.
