These are rose seeds I collected by the roadside in December. I cleaned the rose hips, washed the seeds, placed in wet newspaper and placed that into a zipper plastic bag, then refrigerated until now. Today, I planted them 1/4 inch deep in seed starting medium, and put them on a warming mat.
The seeds have white tips. I wondered if that is the start of a root emerging, but I think the seed coats just have a white tip.
I did the same with Pyrocanthus seeds that I collected this winter and treated the same way, except on wet paper towel.
I planted the Pyrocanthus seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed starting medium, and placed them on the seed warming mat, too.
I read that newspaper is better for stratifying seeds because it's less likely to become moldy, compared to paper towel. Here they seem about the same.
