I have have flower seeds that I am wanting to plant, and Roses in my grandmothers garden, Whats the best chemical/soil/ products that i can use when watering the flowers,
ok about the Roses ,I have a bunch of snip roses with stems, I heard I can use some type of Root starter or growth Hormone, and special water to start a rose bush from a rose stem.
any help would really be appreciated
About Planting Rose Bush/planting seeds?
1) Plain water works better than anything for starting seeds. Later, you can use a little fertilizer or compost. For flowering plants, the ratio of N:P:K should be about 1:2:1 or 1:2:2
(as in 10-20-10 or 5-10-10)
2) If your cut roses are from the florist, they've probably been treated with something like silver thiosulfate, and are not viable.
This is a little late in the season to take cuttings in most of the US, but here's some information from the ARS:

Remember that home propagation of patented plants is illegal.
Reply:1. Go to this website, click onto the flower seeds that you have, scroll all the way to the bottom of the information page and read all about how to grow your seeds:

Reply:You can buy something called root tone (if I remember the name) which is a rooting hormone that will help promote root growth. However you need to clip it below a node where branches are starting to grow out (where it forks). Then just use regular potting soil and water. Roses do prefer a certain acidity but you can worry about that when they're larger. They sell fertilizer specifically for roses.
