Where are the seeds in a rose?
Rose seeds are found in the hips, which is the fruit of a rose. If your rose is a hybrid, you may not have hips. They are found predominantly on species roses. Hips are edible, by the way, and are a good source of vitamin C.
Reply:After a while roses develop a red "rose hip." It starts as a swelling a the base of the flower. Inside the rosehip are several seeds. Birds swallow them and that's how they get distributed. I'm not sure that all roses set hips. They are not easy to propogate that way anyway.
Reply:Roses form a fruit called a rose hip, when the blooms are left on the rose. The seeds are in that. By picking the rose you prevented it from making seeds.
