Growing a rose from seed does not reliably preserve the characteristics of its parent hybrid cultivar. Twilight Zone is a named Grandiflora rose, and seed-grown offspring may differ in flower color, fragrance, and growth habit. Vegetative propagation through cuttings or grafting is generally used to reproduce the original Twilight Zone cultivar. Confirm the identity of any seeds sold under this variety name with the supplier.
