I have no personal experience but it's the traditional, accepted wisdom among British gardeners that pears generally give better flavour on quince.

I have had some varieties of pears which ripened on OHXF333 and in another season ripened on a quince rootstock and the pears ripened on the quince rootstock had far better flavor. Has it just been a fluke or possibly the season that caused that occurrence? I never had them on the different rootstocks on the same year. It has always be on different years so I don't know. For me this has happened with Harrow Delight, Highland, Gorham, and Sierra. Has anyone else had similar results?
