Rose hips

Wed Dec 18, 2013 12:25 am

My grandpa's rose plant never seems to get any hips. Does anyone know why? By the way, it is eden climber. Does it even get hips??? :oops:

As far as I can tell most roses will make hips if they are pollinated well. If they don't get pollinated, then no hips form.
Happy gardening in Hawaii. Gardens are where people grow.

Eden is a hybridized rose, and they usually do not form hips. However, as Imafan said, pollinating is absolutely essential, since hips are really seed pods.
