Excerpt from The History and Culture of Grafted Roses for Forcing

The subject of grafted roses as applied to the American system of forcing, while now quite well understood in all its various aspects by most of the large and many smaller rose growers of the country, still remains with some an open question. It is not my intention to use this opportunity accorded me to put. forth an argument in favor of having all rose growers use grafted stock, but to state, so far as is known, some of the facts in connection with the first attempts to improve the conditions under which forcing roses are grown, and to give a comprehensive description of everything connected with the successful handling of grafted roses.

If my readers will bear with me to the end of my story I think they will agree with me that this question of grafted versus own-root roses is one which no one man can decide for all, but which each individual must work out for himself, according to the character of his soil, the varieties he is growing, and the system of production which is best adapted to his requirements. While the subject has been pretty thoroughly covered from time to time by various competent writers, it is thought that it may prove of interest, at least to the novice in the art of grafting, to cover the whole story from the time some of the first stocks were introduced down to the present day.

The only way a grower can decide whether grafted roses can be grown by him is by having a thorough understanding of the subject. Therefore the treatment of the stocks, the operation of grafting, the handling of the grafting case, and the subsequent treatment of the plants, will all be given with considerable detail. This, perhaps, while seeming entirely unnecessary to those who are already experts, will it is hoped prove of interest to some who may not yet have had any experience in this line. I trust that I shall make myself so clear that the veriest novice in the art will obtain a clear idea of the practice, and perhaps even some who are not strangers to this operation, but who have not been as successful as they could wish, will be helped in their work. It is not the intention to tell merely the proper but also the improper methods, and this latter knowledge is, after all, that which often does us the most good.

In 1883 Mr. Montgomery sent to a large firm of nurserymen in England an order for 1,000 of the new rose, Catherine Mermet, all to be budded on the seedling brier. This demand, however, proved to be a staggerer for even a big firm, and after having scoured the country they were able to deliver only 500 plants. While no definite facts are available in regard to the experiments with budded roses, it is believed that this was the first large importation of tea roses for forcing, not on their own roots.
