Grapes are generally propagated from rooted cuttings. In some
areas, soil pests require propagating by budding the desired
variety onto rooted cuttings of a pest-resistant variety.

Grafting, same way you propagate seedless oranges.

Grapes are hardly ever grown on their own rootstock; you take buds
from desirable vines and start them on suitable rootstock.

(Seedless watermelons, on the other hand, are sterile hybrids; you get
them the same way you get mules, by crossing the parents. Thus you can
buy seedless watermelon seed.)
