Hello zuzu !!! I am indeed in Florida, to be more specific South Florida in the beautiful yet overcrowded city of Miami...LOL. Can't wait to move somewhere to the countryside. I read about Fortuniana rootstock but they are soo much more expensive and they don't have all of the plants that I like. I honestly like them all except maybe for the Knock Out series. I'm more partial to the David Austin's and then Hybrid Teas. Haven't seen the David Austin's as grafted onto Fortuniana. Is there a verdor or vendors that specialize on grafted roses ??
