[dems4me]

How come you don't see seed packet's for roses? Don't they eventually start from a seed too? :shrug:

Dems, please do some research before you attempt to plant your rose seeds. You want to be sure to plant them right-side up or else they'll never grow.

And sideways seeds just shoot off right or left and follow the ground..

Thanks, actually I'm going to try it this way... apparently, you need to bleach the seeds with clorox, then put them in the fridge for a few months, then a bunch of transplanting as it grows. I think I have some mature hips at the house. I will experiment when I get home BTW, you can even patent your rose

i like the ones that if you tie a string and hang the seed from an overhead....it will grow without soil!
i saw it done once and never knew that the roots could bloom also

An overhead what? Really? What kind of rose seed doesn't need dirt? :shrug: I have a feeling mine would turn into cat toys

When you water it, how does the water stay on the plant?

Water vapor sticks to the roots. They use a misting system. There's a name for growing things that way, but I can't remember it.

Actually, I'm not sure why but River bought one of these last weekend She has lobellellas (sp?) in it right now. She didn't get her's from topsyturveys though. I think she got it at serenity farms nursury right by the 231 bridge.

Is it hydroponics? (sp)

But that's OK, Paso. She'll be able to trip the snakes with a plant like that. Then she can just club 'em to death!

Nope, found the name: Aeroponics. The systems to do it are freaking expensive too.

Hydroponics is growing stuff in a nutrient solution where the roots are always touching liquid.

Aquaponics is like the natural version of hydroponics. Basically using a lake or even a fish tank to grow your plants, vs. a calculated nutrient solution.

I've looked into doing all the above in my lab (read: house, which includes the living room) for the last few years. Aeroponics is stupidly expensive. Aquaponics limits what I grow too much. And hydroponics I don't have the time or money for (too many more important projects) and when I have one, I don't have the other.

Don't you know the only place to get roses are from main intersections of most cities? Jeez, gotta explain everything. Seeds..... how silly!!!

The deer keep eating the buds off one of my roses. Now they're also starting on the hostas.....I see venison in my future.

Corporations do not permit rose seeds from being sold to the general public. If that happened, it would be catastrophic to the Flower delivery industy.
