CindiKS said:Lyn, I would love to get some of that root stock and learn to graft or bud. I've been watching videos on chip grafting and I ordered wax tape and a knife. Hopefully that will be more successful than my other propagation experiments. I haven't totally given up on rooting cuttings, but the outlook is not good. 
Neal, if you make one of those corrals, please post a picture. I'm having trouble visualizing it, but it sounds like a great solution to some of my sprawlers.
Cindi ....
Here's a link to an entry on Kim's blog on how to chip bud:

Here's a link to the blog itself ... he covers a lot of material.

If you go all the way back to the beginning of his blog, he writes about using the burrito method to propagate roses. Keep in mind that you will probably have to tweak the process to work in your climate. This is true for all propagation methods. As usual with roses, there are a lot of variables that impact your success ratio.
When I talked with Kim earlier today, he told me that he only has one plant of 'Pink Clouds' right now ... he just moved .... and plans to use it to create more root stock and to bud more roses next season. However, Karen, Blue Girl, may have some that she can send you. Kim taught her how to bud long distance ...
and she has caught on quickly. She got her 'Pink Clouds' from Kim.
