Can you grow a rose bush from a rose hip?

The rose bush that the rose hip is on is a red rose bush and was transplaneted to my yard at the begining of the month. The rose hip is almost ripe.

Can you grow a rose bush from a rose hip?
not an easy job. you have to keep the hip in the crisper of the refrigerator for a couple of months and then plant the seeds in potting soil.





BTW the resulting rose will not be the same as the plant it came from. All modern roses are propagated via grafting. Usually because the root system of new roses are not very good. They take shoots from a living plant and graft them to an old world rose. When the graft takes hold they cut off the old rose stem and the root system then feeds the new cutting. That's why there is a "ball" near ground level where the new rose grows from.
