Grafting is a very old method of perpetuating select varieties of roses. The most common method of grafting of roses is T-budding. I will describe in the following paragraphs another and perhaps more useful method of grafting known as chip budding.
Roses are normally very easy to bud graft.
Chip budding can be used very effectively with roses. Chip budding can be done at any time of the year. It is not restricted to times when the rose rootstock is only in active growth. In addition, chip buds tend to heal faster and the graft union between the new variety and rootstock tends to be stronger. Grafting is an art as well as a science.
