How to grow A Shropshire Lad Rose seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Stratify first, then sow in pots indoors.
• Outdoors: Sow in fall for natural winter chilling.

Prepare Your Materials

• Damp vermiculite or paper towel and a plastic bag (for stratification)
• Seed-starting pots
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Cold-stratify seeds in a damp medium in the refrigerator at 35-41°F (2-5°C) for 8-12 weeks.
• Then sow 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Warm spot with indirect light
• Temperature: 70-75°F (21-24°C) after stratification

Germination

• Be patient; rose seeds sprout unevenly.

Transplanting

• Space plants about 24 inches apart. Note: named roses do not reliably come true from seed.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun
• Water: Regular watering in rich, well-drained soil
• Fertilizer: Feed in spring and again in summer
• Prune in late winter to shape the plant
