Roses

[Small pumpkin]

Has anyone grown roses from seed? How easy is it? Is there anything special I need to do. I fell for some very dodgy advertising on eeebay. And order seeds

I don't even like roses! They bite back

Sucker!! Technical term
Dog roses seem to pop up everywhere so I guess they're not too difficult. Don't know about the ones that are supposed to be rainbow coloured, black, blue, orange with purple spots though!

Sucker!...................yes I am
They are supposed to be the rainbow rose!!!! I looked at the photos again (after I had pressed buy). The leaves are artificial in the photos. So I'm not expecting rainbow roses.
But it will be interesting to see what sort of roses do grow ( if any).

I bought some bright Purple Tomatoes from China & they turned out to be Black Plum so I guess there is a bit of sucker in all of us.

I am always so temped with all those crazy seeds from china, but have never gone through with buying any...........yet

Don't waste your money Lisa, they're all photoshopped.

I knew they wouldn't be rainbow coloured, I knew getting seeds from China was a VERY bad idea. But I really really wanted to believe it was real. I'm such a muppet sometimes. I'm still going to give them a go. Just to see what will appear ( if anything ). It's no great loss, they cost less than £1 including delivery

On the bright side SP, if they grow white, you can always experiment with the colours.

I've put food colouring in water with cut flowers before. Chrysanthemums I think it was ( it was a long time ago). It worked well.

Well, you numpty..........................So, let me get this right. You have already done the experiment with food colouring & you still order seeds...............In the voice of VM " I don't believe it"....................

I think most of the pictures you get in catalouges are photoshopped, flowers and veg.
