Yes, it is true that spring grafting of peaches isn't as successful as grafting other fruits but you will increase your chance of success by covering the whole graft with parafilm.  Parafilm holds the plant's moisture in so it doesn't dry out as quickly.  The new shoot comes right out through the parafilm.  Anymore I always graft my stone fruits using parafilm or similar material.  A M Leonard has rolls of plastic material which I have used too.  Parafilm is stretchy and works very well.
 
Like Sam I prefer budding in the summer but most of the time if I am getting a new variety it will be in the early spring at which time I will have to graft.

Any hints on peach grafting? I intend to try some this spring. Someone mentioned that it is hard. I am gradually expanding my grafting repertory and would like any suggestions people have.  I've done other stone fruit apricot and plum as well as apples pear pawpaw and mulberry.  What are the differences, similarities?
