Grafting tape is also needed. Grafting is usually done in the spring~~ budding [not needing wax] in summer. Both need the tape. Wax is a real pig to work with. The temp. has to be just right and it's really sticky. If I ever need to feel how unable I am at the art, then I watch professional women budding roses~~ quite unbelievable!! I do a dozen or so a year~~ they seem to achieve that in a couple if minutes. Best Wishes Brian. |
