One last word of caution Sofia. There are some people out there that sell what they say is rose seed and it is not. In some cases it is weed seed. In some cases the seeds never sprout at all and in some cases they sprout but are not roses but weeds or some other plant. I hope this does not happen to you but it is possible. I have seen it happen far more often than I like.

If you do in fact get little rose sprouts keep in mind that some are just weak and they may die soon after sprouting. This is no fault of yours, it just happens sometimes. I pray that you will get some nice healthy rosebushes out of this experience. If not. Go out and buy yourself at least a couple miniature rosebushes to enjoy.
