Rosa xanthina seeds benefit from pretreatment because they can have natural dormancy. A commonly used method involves soaking seeds in water for 24 hours, followed by approximately 60 days of warm stratification and 60 days of cold stratification. Sow the prepared seeds in a well-drained growing medium and maintain suitable moisture. Germination timing can vary between seeds.
