Southern California climate is similar enough to Egypt that the timing ought to be pretty similar.

Firstly, thank you.

Secondly i am talking about climbing roses and not roses - I read the article, it is all about roses - even the seeds are different. Thank you anyways

There are way too many different roses these days, including climbing, shrub, bush, double flowers, single flowers, perfumed, to name a few types.

The best way to grow climbing Roses is to take cuttings from a natural climbing Rose plant, that is like the wild Rambler, today's climbing Roses are produced by GRAFTING a bush /shrub Rose onto the root stock and that gives the different colours, size, smell of the flowers we all appear to love.

The other way you want to have a go doing is to germinate a climbing Rose from seed, you need to get hold of a Climbing Rose Plant that is a genuine climber, NOT a plant grafted to climbing root stock as the seeds from a grafted plant will IF your lucky enough to get germination from the seeds, will be the bush type of rose.

It's quite complicated for me to try give the proper way to go BUT the real fact is, you need seeds / cuttings etc from a climbing plant with that type of gene.

Roses of any type take years to grow after germinating from seeds, it can take up to six-seven years before it is ready to be planted outside and even then, more years before it will be mature enough to form flowers IF at all, The modern Rose growers who do this for a living use the method of using the old fashioned rootstock from wild Roses as they are way more hardy, the make little nicks in the rootstock stems, remove a slither of stem from the Rose plant they want to make into a new plant, to do this the little slither of wood MUST contain a very tiny BUD, it it sliped into a little slit in the root stock and taped in place to prevent bird, wind or rain moving the little bud about and it is left in place till the bud shows signs of growth, the tape is removed and the bud grows on to produce a new stem and forms the flowering buds from it's parent plant.

IF you can, try get a book on germination and look see IF Roses are covered in that, it is more complicated than you think.
Wishing you best of luck and kind regards.

Name the genus and species you are asking about.
The word 'rose' is a part of the common name of many plants.
Generally and most commonly it refers to a large group of hybrids that were derived from any of several closely related species in the genus Rosa. Cultivation of all of them are similar enough that general instructions should cover all of them.

If you are breeding roses to develop new colors, new fragrances, new varieties, then start with the general instructions for growing from seed for any of them. If you find significantly different instructions for one of the parents you are using, then I would try test growing them under a range of conditions that cover both parents.

If you are talking about a different species of plant then proper ID is the way to begin getting proper information.
