I am attempting to hybridize this year and I am so anxious to get started that I can't stand it. I wanted to do a trial and error run on the seeds them self this year while waiting for the hips and planting the others at the end of this year/early next year.

I bought 4 kinds of 'rose shrub' seeds. There are 200 in each set so I should have about 800 seeds.

I know that they probably needed to be chilling since December by what I have read online. However, I will be getting them in the mail this week. They are proffessional seeds, not out of someones garden so I am hopeing they will have a high success rate.

Anyone know if I will be ok since it's almost springs? Should I throw them in the fridge, plant them or what?

I am in Florida and the temps are in the 30's and 40's right now (wierd I know). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
