How to hybridize a rose


COVER emasculated flower with bag so no pollen will be carried to it by insects or wind.
MAKE CROSS later, when stigmas are sticky. Cut flower having pollen-laden stamens, remove petals, rub stamens onto stigmas of prepared bloom, replace bag for week. If successful, ovary will swell.
