How to Graft Roses

I think that grafting is very fun. It has taken me quite some time and practice to get good enough at it for it to work on a regular basis. The type of grafting in this video is known as T-Budding because the cut that is made in the rootstock rose (the rose used for its roots) for the scion (the desirable rose that is being grafted) to fit into looks like a capitol T. One thing that is very important for grafting to work is, of course clean tools, clean plant material, etc., but also good contact from the cambium of the rootstock to the cambium of the scion is required. The cambium layer is the actively growing tissue. Once the two have good contact with one another, this means that the cuts are nice and flat, not wavy, then they will begin to grow together, assuming that no infection sets in and the grafts are not disturbed. With practice, when the first graft that takes is discovered, it will be very exciting (at least it was for me).
Thanks to my cousin Andrew for filming this for me.

After watching this and reviewing responses to other comments, it's clear that you're a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing!

I watched this video and did two rose grafts exactly as you described, and one took! So wrapped!

Hey, a couple of tips for you.

Try making your cuts first of your rootstock rather than your scion. Your rootstock keeps being fed sap and won't feel the stress caused by evaporation while you're extracting your bud from your cutting.

The way you did it, by the time you're done working on your rootstock, your bud is exposed to the warmth and the dry air and loses plenty of water which you don't want to have happened.

Second piece of advice, if you want a better grasp of your scionwood to extract the bud, you may wanna not cut it into tiny bits. YOu'll have less chance to cut your fingers if you have more surface to hold on to and it'll make the process way easier.

Put your thumb against your other thumb as you cut off your bud. It'll prevent your hand from slipping and cutting through your fingers.

[lisalovesrichie]

I enjoyed your speaking...
keep up the videos.. just one simple recommendation... you should have someone hold the camera with there hands next time instead of their feet!

[timfoinc.]

High detailed skills...sophisticate skills . I can save one great scent rose to the other one.

[Shedoeswhatallday]

Very informative. Would love for you to add showing how it comes out! Yes, the camera shaking and for me at least focus isn't great - but your explanation was easy to follow! Thanks!

[Samanthao]
