Most roses produce seeds with the aid of bees and other flying insects that are attracted to the aroma or color of the bloom. The rose hip contains several seeds that are indigestible to birds and animals.
Another thing we wondered was; how do Roses reproduce?
Roses reproduce naturally both by seed formation and via suckers that sprout near the base of the bush. The suckers will produce blooms that are identical to the original. Seeds, however, may produce a plant and bloom that vary from the original plant. Roses can be reproduced manually by stem cuttings.
A common query we ran across in our research was “How do roses reproduce sexually?”.

How to propagate Roses from cuttings?
