A garden full of roses is always a rich garden, regardless of the varieties that make it up. Of course, for a beautiful unique place, you need a gifted gardener to transform a mere garden into an explosion of energy, colour and fragrance. When the German breeder Kordes created the Novalis, he relied on the talent of a rose lover who knows how to highlight a rose with full potential.
Novalis is a sturdy floribunda rose in a very attractive lavender blue colour, with large, beautiful and slightly fragrant flowers that grow in double, nostalgically shaped clusters. This beautiful rose blooms repeatedly throughout the season and its attractive foliage reaches heights between 70-80 cm.

Starting the rose seeds
Before growing the roses from seed, the seeds have to undergo a period of stratification. This is a cold moist storage that gets the seeds ready for germination.
Cold Treatment
Chilling your seeds in a refrigerator for about six to ten weeks encourages them to germinate faster once planted. Place your seeds on a paper towel before moistening them. Use half purified water and half peroxide to prevent the growth of mould. You can then place them in a plastic zippered bag, mark the date and variety before placing in a refrigerator set at 1 to 3 degrees C. The paper towel should remain moist for the entire period.
Planting your seeds
When you think your seeds are ready for planting (6-10 weeks), remove the bag from the refrigerator if that was your stratification method. You will need shallow trays or small pots to plant your seeds. The ideal size of the trays or pots should be 3-4 inches deep.
Next fill your trays or pots with the potting soil. You can opt to use 50% sterile potting soil and 50% vermiculite, or half peat and half perlite. When the potting mix is ready in the trays or pots, this is the time to take off your seeds from the towel.
Place your seeds about ¼ inch into the soil and dust the surface again to prevent the damp off disease that kills seeds. Water them properly and place them outside in direct sunlight. If there is frost, it is advised you place your seeds under a tree or in a sheltered part of the patio to protect them.
Keep the soil pots or trays watered but not soggy. Do not let them dry up as this might affect the germination of your seeds.
