| I know we've talked about it before.....grafting different roses onto the one root stock but I've never seen it.
Go to the link below, scroll thru and have a look.
What do you all think? |
Here is a link that might be useful: ???????????????

Yes they have been doing it for a few years now. I was tempted but everytime
I went to order one of them they were sold out, just my luck the season I
order from another nursery they have plenty, sure look good though...MM |

| I don't know whether I'm being excessively suspicious but, if they were so successful, wouldn't there be more of them around? |

| They look lovely but I have just read Alice in Wonderland to my Granddaughter and one of the pictures has a row of roses with different colours on them, looked just like the ones in the post. There are lots of wonderful things on that site, thank you Annie.

The only one that looks at all nice is the pink and white together - like coconut ice, but the blooms on iceberg and bonica are too different.
Has anyone seen a rose which is grafted all the way down the stem? Ken from Spring Park was describing one to me - 6 ft tall, and grafted all the way up and down. - sound fabulous, but also fabulously expensive. |

| Hello my ole mate, Nice to get a chance to say hi! I'm on the side of it's a bit of an eyesore. After having a few different colors and types of standards, I don't think you can beat Iceberg or Seduction -Flor. No more colors or HT's for me. Each to their own, Cheers, Brissy |

| No, not my cup of tea either |

| I was thinking though if you only had a small garden?? |

Each to his own. Somebody must have liked it to have done it and I guess that if they sell others must like the idea.

| If you like them why not? It's your yard. Treloar had White and Burgundy Icebergs I think. I thought about it but am not sure where I would put them. So maybe next year. I thought the Iceberg/Bonica mix was quite nice. |

| Hi, My neighbour had a plant that had seven grafts on it. It grow to about 7 feet then the more dominant cultivars took over until the strugle ended up with only one surviving. Nice idea but, |
RE: have a look at this!!

I thought of that too....the stronger variety might take over.
You would have to know what you're doing.
I can't make up my mind.
It might be nice as a "special" point of interest? |

| It seems a bit sad really, although maybe for small gardens you might get away with it. I am constantly amazed by some of the horticultural contortions that are being marketed, like standard pompom camellias/daphnes! Still holding my tongue... what about some of the incompatible robust roses (Elina) budded onto those underweight skinny standards. Snap and say no more! Next season it will be.......? |
