Grafting is a horticultural (or agricultural) term that refers to taking two closely related plants cutting one part from one and attaching it to another. The result is a combination of the two plants on one bush (or tree).
For example the bottom (rootstock) of a red rose can have a white rose grafted on to it; this results in a single plant with both white and red roses on the same plant.
The procedure is normally performed to include the superior qualities of a certain root stock (eg one that may be resistant to soil disease) to the superior production qualities of another variety; the "top" portion is called the scion.
Common plants that this process is performed on include: roses, citrus trees, mango trees, avocado trees, grape vines etc.
