I love my 3 rose bushes can I propagate them from seed? Can someone send me to directions or send me directions?
The temp has dropped here already at 8,600 ft, so any out door planting is out of the question for this year. I did save a few HIPS but I don't know how to tell if they are mature if I can use the seed. Thanks DB
