I'll do a cutting for her, but I've never fooled around and tried
grafting.  And June of 1998 (15 months in business), is not the time to
start.  I have seedlings that still need to be potted up, brugmansia
seedlings that are threatening the south side benches and a 6 foot
gunnera that needs a new pot.  Add that to the endless inventory, and
the lists of new plants that I *have* to have (I ordered that red
campanula, Ms. Dube'....'Cherry Bells'), and you can see that I can
either spend my free time doing the bookkeepping or grafting roses.
Actually, in that light, grafting seems quite inviting....

I may be ignorant, but I've never heard of nematode problems in this NW
area.
Thank you for your suggestions, nevertheless.
