I want to graft cuttings from my neighbor’s rose onto this rootstock. Should I graft a cutting directly when early fall hits?


Whoever owned this house before me cut down all the landscaping the owners before them planted. Google images showed a very developed front garden, but that not longer exists.

I decided to let this rootstock of rose grow this season. I wasn't sure what I would do with it, but a neighbor kindly agreed to let me take as many cuttings as I'd like from their roses if I'd like to graft.

How should I go about this? I live in USDA zone 7b.

    I’ve not grafted roses but generally autumn is a bad time for grafting. For most species late winter/early spring is ideal for grafting but I believe summer is many people’s preference for rose grafting, though I couldn’t tell you why. Either try immediately or wait until the sap is flowing and buds are swelling in spring.
