I put some seeds in a ziplock bag with some moist paper towel and into the refridgerater on dec 15th.
I checked them today add did not find any germinating yet.
I did see a few starting to get mold what should I do.

This is my first time doing this ,thanks

Hi Stanc,

You could soak your seeds in hydrogen peroxide for about 15 minutes and put them back in a new moist paper towel.
good luck!~

If seeds are black, they may be dead.
Moldy seeds were recently discussed on RHA forum (rosehybridizers.org); one prominent member said that mold may actually promote germination.
