Title: Re: [NAFEX] Rose grafting question(s)

What IS the rose variety, that it's so hard to root?  I've never found one I couldn't root from a summer cutting.  Have you looked up the Rose Rustlers?  They root cuttings all the time.  I've written articles on it, but the computer containing those is in for repairs.
