    Hi guys
    I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with splicing a rose cutting onto a standard plant.
    My standard rose had two branches but one was broken off in high wind over the winter and am wondering if it possible to attach a new cutting.
    Any hints & tips would be most welcome, also are there any limitations on the type of cuttings you could use?
    Thanks

    I think I'm right in saying the usual method is budding and its done in august time, or there abouts.

    It involves placing a bud of the variety under the bark of the rootstock and binding tightly.

    The process is not that difficult and is probably the easiest form of grafting.
