hampartsum said:Hello Zuzu, I'm considering propagating new plants from some of my old rose bushes ( 25 year old) that I will have to replant somewhere else, because the area has to be cleared for the expansion of our greenhouses. Last fall I took dormant cuttings from a a rootstock bush and was successful with just a few cuttings. Reading different sources, it would seen adequate that now I should try budding during this summer ( it's summer now) or also try stenting ( that is take cuttings of rootstock and also scions to graft onto all in one stage) ¿ does anyone have suggestions of what is best and if the season chosen is appropriate? I look forward greatly in acquiring the art of grafting roses so it is also something new to learn and am willing to patiently wait the necessary failures until I become profficient in the art. Thank you. Arturo

My rose mentor, Kim Rupert, has a blog called "Pushing the Envelope" and in his 2014 blog entries he shows how to chip bud roses with a lot of photos.

Here's a link to his blog:

I hope this helps.
