Why are soses grafted to root stock?
Thanks


The biggest reason is cost. It is cheaper and faster to graft buds onto root
stock then it is to produce rooted clones from branch segments.

There are some roses that have undesirable root systems, either inefficient,
and weak. But these are a minority compared to the cost efficiency reason.
