Before planting the rose bush seeds in soil, they need to undergo a cold treatment process called ‘stratification’. The point of this treatment is to ‘trick’ the seeds into believing they have survived the winter, so when planted in soil and kept at room temperature, they will sprout. You can stratify rose seeds in two ways:
