The STRIPED variety of Jocelyn is no longer available/sold at Rogue Valley Roses. They do still have Jocelyn, however, it is out-of-stock at the time of this posting. Is anyone aware of any other online, mail-order nurseries that you can purchase 'Striped Jocelyn' from? So gorgeous!
Hallo Paul,. An Australian Ladymailed to me that in my previous comment Iused an improperword to describe the kind of grafting I meant. In English it was incorrect too! Although this descr. is commonly professionally used in Holland and I grafted this way thousands of fruittrees in hundreds of varieties throughout the years. Tried it out on roses and they flourish! I looked it up in the "Grafters Handbook" from1946 with dozens and dozensof ways to graft. The properdescr. would be:"The(improved-) whip-and-tongue graft". I'm sorry when I may have offended some people by my choice of words, I did not mean to. Good luck by trying or maybe trying out other suggestions to graft from the handbook! Greetings from Jay-Jay.
Maybe you should try to graft this rose with the English copulation using unripe 'green' wood. Or even put appr.20 cm of 1 year old twigs in potting soil, or use the twig under the flower for that purpose. Good luck! Jay-Jay.
