START EARLY INDOORS
In spring, 6 weeks before last expected frost date, sow seeds 2 inches apart in a container of seed starting mix and cover 1/4 inch deep. Keep cool, between 60-70°F (16-27°C) and moist and provide a strong light source until ready to plant out. Rose seeds germinate slowly, so be patient. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots. Feed seedlings every 2 weeks with half-strength fertilizer. When 3 to 4 inches tall, gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions and plant out in full sun.
THIN OR TRANSPLANT
Space seedlings 18 inches apart so plants can mature and spread.
GROWING NOTES
Set young seedlings out into rich, well-drained fertile soil or plant in large containers to grow into charming patio shrubs. Plants may flower sparsely their first summer, then begin to bloom in earnest their second and third seasons. They mature at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 feet tall and are covered with sprays of delicate pastel blossoms all summer long. Keep faded flowers cut off and fertilize regularly for new beautiful garden displays and dainty little nosegay bouquets.
