books on budding and grafting

could someone please recommend a good book on tea-budding and grafting roses

thanks

because you have so many growers in your area...give them a ring and ask them if you can spend a morning with them and get hands on experience.....alot easier than reading a book.....also offer them that you will supply the donuts for morning tea...

Jordan, can't Cathy show you

Hi jordan, I'm pretty busy at present so please excuse my inactivity on the Forum.

The best book by far is "The Grafters Handbook". by Robert Garner.
ISBN 0-571-04982-6 ISBN 0-571-11393-1 Pbk

This book is used in University and Tafe courses.
Most techniques have to be shown and demonstrated for the best result. I suggest you contact someone in the Rose Society of Vic and find a budder there.
I have shown a lot of people how to bud but very few have persued it further.

Thanks ozeboy
