ROSA 
Rose. Rosaceae. The seed of the species 
should be planted in the fall so that they can 
lay over winter in the soil, when they usually 
germinate in the spring. Hold the seed bed 
for two years at least for late germinating 
seeds. I would appreciate hearing from any 
one growing the species not listed here; we 
are growing these in our own planting and 
missing species will be appreciated.
