Climbing Rose Seeds require some preparation before planting to achieve good germination. First, soak the seeds in lukewarm water for about 12–24 hours to soften their outer shell. For better results, keep the soaked seeds in moist cotton or tissue inside a zip-lock bag and refrigerate them (not in the freezer) for 4–6 weeks. After this cold treatment, sow the seeds about 0.5 cm deep in well-drained soil made with garden soil, cocopeat, compost, and a little sand. Place the pots in a location where they receive 4–5 hours of morning sunlight while avoiding heavy rains or direct harsh sunlight. Keep the soil moist but never waterlogged, as too much water may cause fungal infection. Seeds usually take 4–8 weeks to germinate, and not all seeds will sprout, as the germination rate is naturally around 30–40%. Once seedlings grow 3–4 inches tall, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden near a wall, fence, or trellis to support climbing growth. Regular organic compost every few weeks and protection from pests using natural sprays like neem oil will help the plant grow strong and healthy. With proper care, climbing roses will reward you with beautiful blooms and lush green vines that enhance the beauty of your home or garden.
