I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask but if not maybe someone will be able to help me out.

I'm fully aware Roses do not grow true to seed but I love the challenge and excitement of trying to get a new never seen before variety. I would love to try my hand at growing roses from seed. I'm particularly interested in seeds from Paul Bardon or David Austin roses ( don't necessarily HAVE to be those but I do like "cabbage rose" look) Stephen Rulo and Distant Drums are others that caught my eye. I tend to gravitate towards the softer , muted colors, peaches, soft yellows, pale pinks, peachy corals but am not set that's what it has to be.

I managed to collect about 8 seeds off my Lady of Shallot bush and if I'm spending the time and energy on those I would like to increase my chances by doing more at a time. I'm not limited on space so I figure the more I can grow the better chances I have of finding something nice😀

If anyone has some to share ( I'd be happy to pay for them) or knows were I can buy some I would love to hear from you!
