Rose Hybridizers Association Forum

The FPS at UC Davis offers the following rootstock:

• Burr Multiflora
  De la Grifferaie
  Dr. Huey
  Fortuniana
  IXL
  Manettii
  Natal Briar
  Odorata

Of those of you guys that practice budding, which rootstock, in your experience, is the 'slipperiest?' That is, easiest to work with?

Thanks!

I don't do any grafting, but I do collect reports from those who do.

Here's a bibliography that may help pick the right stock for various types of soil and climate.
