Double Grafted Rose Bush

11 years ago

I just bought two at my local Lowes ($12.95) but I wasn't sure that it was a worthwhile investment since my one experience with dual grafted rose bushes ended with a Mortal Kombat finish. Has anyone ever been able to grow these while maintaining both varieties alive or do they always end with only one winner?

I have had Royalty for years and it is one of my most consistent roses. You inspired me to go to Lowe's today to get one of these, unfortunately they were not labeled but were in bloom so colors are white and peach.

My PJPII was not a very vigorous grower but I don't know much about Royalty so it might be a toss up or a fair fight. Enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

I think Royalty will be the loser. It is a single stick here. I will enjoy it while it lasts. In the meantime I'm going to attempt to root cuttings from this bush.

Thank you for the feedback.

I have never seen these or heard of this kind of grafting before, except for expensive tree roses, which featured Ebb Tide and Julia Child. Guess we are really out of the loop around here. I'm not surprised. Diane

Densiemill - What Lowes did you go to? City? I saw the peach one, but it didn't call to me enough to part with my $.

Nanadoll - We get these here from time to time. In the past I've seen mostly Iceberg and Purple Iceberg.
