Unique Facts About Seeds
- Rose seeds are contained inside rose hips, the fruit that develops after successful pollination.
- Rose seeds often have dormancy requirements, so germination can be slower and less predictable than many annual flowers.
- Plants grown from rose seed may not produce flowers identical to the parent plant because roses can cross-pollinate.
- Roses belong to the genus Rosa, which contains many species and cultivated forms with different growth habits.
