    Whenever I climb on my soapbox to declare that grafted roses are superior to own-root roses, I have to add the disclaimer that my own-root Postillion is one of the largest and healthiest roses in my garden. Its thick and sturdy canes easily hold the clusters of large blooms erect. It has no wispy canes or nodding blooms. The bright orange buds open to reveal golden-yellow blooms with copper tinges.
