Hi Derry,
I use Siberian Pear seedlings for rootstock. I have had some trouble when
grafting some of the pear varieties I got from Canada's Clonal Genebank and
I'm hoping that was a timing issue with the budwood being shipped from the
East. I have had nearly 100% success grafting on some super hardy pears from
Russian which have Siberian Pear in their parentage. But maybe Siberian Pear
rootstock has the same compatibility issues that I've heard about (and
experienced) when grafting regular apples, without Siberian Crab in their
background, onto Siberian Crab rootstock.

What are people using as a hardy pear r/s? For zones 2-3-4
for example.
