Grow Roses from Seed
Growing plants from seed takes some patience, and roses in particular need a specific cold treatment before they'll germinate. These seeds walk you through that process, whether you're planting at home, in your garden, or on a balcony.
These seeds need cold treatment for 30 to 50 days before you plant them in soil. Soak the seeds for 48 hours, then mix them with damp sand and keep them in your fridge or another cold spot below 41F. After the cold period ends, plant them in moist soil and cover them with about half an inch of dirt at 68F.
Each package contains 25 seeds. Rose seeds can be slow and inconsistent to germinate even with proper cold treatment, so not every seed will sprout. Under good conditions, seeds that do germinate typically emerge within about 15 days once planted, as long as the soil stays consistently moist.
The plants need at least half a day of direct sunlight and good airflow to bloom properly. Regular trimming keeps the plants healthy and encourages more flowers to grow. You can move them to bigger pots as they grow larger over time.
-
Cold Stratification Process: Seeds require 30 to 50 days of cold treatment below 41F before planting to support germination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will all 25 seeds grow into plants?
Not necessarily. Rose seeds can be inconsistent to germinate even with proper cold treatment, so the seed count reflects opportunities to grow, not a guaranteed number of plants.
Do these need any special preparation before planting?
Yes. They require 30 to 50 days of cold stratification (soaking, then storing in damp sand below 41F) before they're ready to plant in soil.
Can I grow these indoors?
Yes. They can be grown in pots indoors on a windowsill or balcony, or planted directly outdoors.
How much sunlight do the plants need once grown?
At least four to six hours of direct sunlight a day, along with good airflow, to bloom well.
