Charles de Mills X Abraham Darby: Harvested the seed on 9/24/23 and put in fridge around that date. 63 seeds in the hips in total. Last opened to check on the seeds 1/30/24. Results: Had about 16 seeds germinated in paper towel. Went ahead and planted in a tray and put under lights.

Marianne X Blue For You: Harvested 10/29/23 and put in the fridge around that time.  19 seeds. Checked on 1/30, no seeds germinated. Went ahead and planted in tray and put under lights.

My top 8 David Austin roses

 These are my top 8 David Austin roses that I have grown in at least one of my gardens in either Oregon, Georgia or Missouri. Not in any specific order. There is a bonus rose at the end that I haven't grown, but have seen in it a rose garden and would like to grow it at some point. You can see the video here:
