I'd like to start my own plant for personal grafting. Does anybody have a plant I can get a cutting from? I'm in East Mesa... I'd rather not have to order a whole plant and am not in a hurry.
I can offer some of my own cuttings or whatever. Feel free to msg me or post on here.

Thanks

You can get virus-indexed 8" cuttings from UC Davis' Foundation plant service for .50 cents a piece (but there is a $25 minimum order), here: http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/WebSitePDFs/Price&VarietyLists/RosePriceList.p df

Note they have an October 15, 2012 order deadline for rootstocks for fall shipment in November, see here: http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/WebSitePDFs/Price&VarietyLists/RoseDeadline.pd f

Personally, I'd contact the Mesa/East Valley Rose Society. Many of their members graft to Fortuniana and/or order them from K&M. While Fortuniana isn't sold locally, the MEVRS has some very experienced rosarians who can help with locating the stock and helping you with the grafting. The first Saturday in February is the annual MEVRS rose auction and they usually have several varieties grafted to Fortuniana available for bidding.

Mike, contacting that rose society sounds like a winner. There are probably some members who are grafting onto it themselves, and may have some to share that they've started.
