porkpal said:What I wanted to try was collecting seed from some of my old garden roses and seeing whether I could get them to grow. The pollen parent would be unknown, but it would be fun to see what I got. Yes, I know, not a serious endeavor...


PP .... that's exactly how the breeders in the early 1800s "bred" their roses ... Smiling They planted roses that they thought would make good roses near each other and hoped that a wonderin' bee would spread the pollen to the right rose. They were quite serious about it and they did come up with some good roses.

Go for it PP Smiling
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
