Of course they do, why not. When you open the fruit of a Rose,
underneith the (ex) flower, we call that a Rose-bottle, you'll find
the little thinghs that look like seeds. Those are the 'grains' that
children put in someones neck, that causes a terrible itch. In fact
they are 1-seeded 'nutlets' - the seeds are in them. But I suppose
they won't be fertile with many of the cultivated Roses...

bye, Marco

Have you not heard of "Rose Hips"?

They are the fruiting body for Roses.

Seeds are inside the hip.

We have several Rosa pimpinellifolia that we grew from seed collected
on the other side of the Atlantic.  They haven't flowered yet though.

Treat them real rough, they grow in the coastral dunes here. Sand,
storm, they can cope. Perhaps not too cold in winter. Don't  prune
them like cultivated Roses - like all wild European Roses they flower
on wood of the year before!

Success, Marco.
