Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Hi I am doing a assignment for a class and it is to do with the rose 'obsession'. There is a question that states this: Explain the necessary steps to produce the rose 'obsession in a time frame e.g a number of weeks it takes from sowing seed to harvesting or from small plants purchased from a specialist propagator ect., or pruning time to harvest?
I gather the rose obsession is for valentines and so it would be around the months of December to February. But i can not find any help on this question
please help

Jode........

This is a hybridized rose and will not reproduce true from seed and can only be propagated through tissue culture. Please note, the rose page shows that the rose is a patented rose and US patent law forbids reproduction of the plant by any means within the patent period...twenty years.

You can use the "Search Posts" tab to look at previous posts about how to propagate from tissue culture or you can search previous Ezine articles on the HelpMeFind site and find a lot of information about how to propagate roses.

Good luck with your project.

Smiles,

Lyn

Jode,

Lyn is most correct. There are no seeds available for roses like other flowers.
Hybridizing is a fascinating process. If you would like to see a chronicle of budding and established hybridizers, go to rosarianscorner.com
There is a forum there called 'hybridizing corner' where the forums members share their methods and results.

Good luck with your paper
