Fraser Valley Rose Farm | Grafted Roses and Rootstock @FraserValleyRoseFarm | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 12 hours ago
If you're comparing the advantages of grafted roses vs. own root (in theory, say) here's a reality check: you don't get to decide what's available! Many (especially larger) producers still primarily grow grafted roses, so if you want the rose of your dreams - you may need to be flexible on grafted roses and even the rootstock used by the supplier. Speaking of rootstock, there are 3 main commercial rootstocks ('Dr. Huey', R. Multiflora & R. x 'Fortuniana') you may want to be familiar with. Truth be told, there have been plenty of different rootstock varieties used over the years, and some growers are still likely testing new varieties. In this video, I'll go through some of the basics of why you'd consider choosing a grafted rose for your garden.
Here's that article I mentioned by Pam Greenwald on own-root roses (even in Florida!): angelgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/MayJun13_GoodEarth.pdf
