How do you grow rose flowers from seed?

Growing roses from seed requires patience and attention, but it can be a rewarding experience. Here's how to do it:

1. Prepare the Planting Medium: Create a well-draining mix using equal parts (50%) sterile potting soil and vermiculite. Some growers recommend Sunshine Mix #4 as a suitable alternative. Good drainage is crucial.

2. Sow the Seeds: Plant the rose seeds about one-half inch deep in small pots or shallow trays. Ensure the containers have adequate drainage holes.
