Breeding Roses

From Peter Beales Knowledgebase

The search for improved varieties of roses, growers are continually introducing new roses to the marketplace. The process is called 'hybridisation', man's manipulation of the reproductive activities of the rose. It is fairly easy for the amateur to undertake.

Hybridising should take place early in the summer, in order for the hips to ripen before icy winters start.
