Grafting for New Rose Bushes

In addition to selling long-stemmed rose blossoms, Primarosa also sells rose plants. They use a method of grafting to create the spectacular roses for which they are known. We saw a whole room full of women performing this grafting. The process is to take a type of rose which is very hardy, but not so beautiful, and graft a beautiful rose stem onto the hardy rose stem (which has the root shoots). You can see the small plastic wrapper that is placed around the grafted area of the new plant. These plants are then placed in a small cup of soil and put into a room that is VERY humid. After about a week, the plants are moved into a cooler room and eventually planted into larger containers ready for shipment.
