Young Briar: A standard rose is budded on young lateral shoots at the desired height, close to the main stem of the briar, For a bush rose the budding is done at ground level on two-year-old briar seedlings. Once the bud comes into growth, the gardener trims away the rest of the briar to concentrate the plant's whole activity into the developing scion. He may also graft stem cuttings to the briar; this is in fact normal for ramblers and some other climbing types.
Budding, as practised with roses, is a variant of the same technique [12]. A bud of the desired clone, with a small spur of stem sheath, is inserted on to the exposed soft stem of a young briar (wild rose) stock. The species most commonly used is the very variable dog rose (Rosa canina).
