Wow.... looks quite healthy. BTW, I have limited experience of growing roses from seeds but it seems it is not an easy task.

It is and it is not.
But one has to be very stringent, selection-wise, as for health at our place and in our climate, that differs from the seeds' origin and other criteria.
Most of the lots of seedlings were prone to mildew, or just died. Still remain about seven seedlings.
I'm a very content man about that...
And I would like to thank You again KBW Organic 9b, that You have been so kind to share those seeds (found near the Batura Glacier in Pakistan) with and sending them to me!
Best Regards from The Netherlands.

You are most welcome Jo. Even seven seedlings is good enough and I see that at least one of them is growing very well. How is the heath of other 6 seedlings.
best regards

It's beautiful, Jay Jay! Congratulations! KBW Organic 9b, honestly, the seeds often germinate in place by themselves, so how hard SHOULD it be? Much of the time, WE make things difficult.

Absolutely agreed. We humans mostly do not try to understand how things happen in nature and try to force our ways.

They look absolutely fantastic, Jo. is the bigger plant with many canes also webbiana and from the same lot of seeds? That one looks much bigger than the other six seedlings.

YES! Most of the seedlings stayed very tiny and didn't survive winter. As in nature too, over here it will be survival of the fittest, or survival of the most adapted!
Will re-pot the lot soon.

Nice photo Jo. I was just wondering that posting this photo in the main photo page too might help the viewers to see it easily. It's really fascinating to see the whole journey, ie, collection of seeds from wild habitat in Batura Glacier, Pakistan..... whole effort undertaken by you in Nederland to germinate the seeds and finally this small beautiful bush. BTW, I was just reading the comments on the main page of this rose and it says that the rose is found at moderate altitudes and also that it is "probably fairly hardy with snow cover, although details are scarce". I have posted so many photos taken at 12000 to 13000 feet above sea level which is quite a "high altitude" and of course the areas just next to a glacier get lot of snow in winters with temperatures dropping up to - 25*C. There is no doubt in my mind that in its natural habitat, Rosa webbiana is completely hardy with snow cover and low temperatures. What do you say?
best regards
Hamad

Impressive! That's what I would call a very hardy rose!

It didn't endure a real winter over here, so I can't tell as for frost hardiness. I can post this photo at the main page... good idea.
