Which Rootstock has white, 5 petal flowers?
Comments (5)Windeaux: The plant was advertised as own root, but obviously it was grafted :( It is Francois Juranville ( I think - I honestly forgot the name ) This rose is huge huge huge...it has formed a thicket which is ok for the area it was planted in. I love FJ's flowers and scent, so am happy with this part of the plant :) I hate these huge suckers it throws out.. which is extremely vigorous and a challenge to keep under control. FJ is going to get a haircut this year, along with Marianne who turned into an absolute monster due to my ignoring my garden for 4-5 years. Thanks for ID'ing the rootstock Ann :) Marleah...See MoreWhere to buy citrus rootstock in San Jose, CA. area
Comments (2)I am not sure where to get it. But, you can try ordering seeds of such trees online and germinate them or get a cheap grafted citrus and cut away the grafted part and try to graft your pummelo onto it. But, if I were you, I would just graft that pummelo onto any existing citrus in my yard (or container). Joe Real (a GW member from N Cal) has 80 types grafted onto a single citrus tree and all of them are bearing....See MoreWhere to buy Dr. Huey rootstock?
Comments (10)That's not quite the case. Of all the possible nurseries, Vintage has been the most forthcoming about the potential of virus in their roses. If you buy their big catalog, Gregg provides the provenance of every rose they offer. No other source offers this kind of information. Those which have been obtained from UC Davis and their Foundation Plant Services RMV program are indicated with "VID" or "VI" after their names. Those specific roses have been purchased from the Davis program and are certified RMV free. The big catalog further states whether the rose was obtained from Dr. Manners' program at Florida Southern College to eliminate RMV, or what other source it was obtained. The only other nurseries which have addressed this issue have been Pickering, who states that all the roses they offer have been virus indexed, and Heirloom, who reportedly has worked with several indexing programs, as well as imported many of their roses from Europe. Their web site says, and has said for several decades, "own root roses are virus free. All our roses are own root." It has been shown that European imports are NOT all virus free. Own root roses are ONLY free from Rose Mosaic Virus IF they are produced from RMV free plants. There is no way to know for sure if the plant is free from that group of viruses unless they are tested, and/or treated then retested for them. Heirloom does not state which of their roses has been tested or treated. If you want the greatest potential for Dr. Huey to be free from RMV, your best bet is to purchase the stock cuttings from Davis and root your own. You could also email Vintage to ask what the source of their Dr. Huey is. If they obtained it from Florida Southern, Dr. Manners, it should be clean. I doubt they obtained it from Davis due to the absence of the VI or VID indication with the rose name as the others they obtained from Davis carry. If you know the roses you wish to bud are already RMV infected, or if you don't care whether they are or not, you can use any root stock sucker from any commercially grown bare root rose in your, or anyone elses garden. But, the best way to know is ask Vintage, or buy from Davis. Kim...See MoreWhere to buy Fortuniana Rootstock
Comments (2)Monahmed, Cool Roses in Florida sells potted Fortuniana for budding and grafting. I have not purchased from them. I just remember seeing that they sell the Fortuniana I tried rooting Fortuniana with no luck. I think it wants to have a humid environment, with barely damp rooting medium... at least that's what I'm going to try next. Good Luck to You! Gracin...See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
