Answer: A

Rose is commercially propagated by 'T' budding.

In T-budding (shield budding), a T-shaped cut is made in the bark of the rootstock and a single bud with a shield of bark from the desired variety is slipped under the flaps and tied. It is quick, cheap and gives a high success rate on rootstocks such as Rosa indica var. odorata (Edward rose), so it is the standard commercial method for roses.

Patch, ring and Forkert budding are slower, specialised methods meant for thick-barked trees; Forkert budding, for example, is the standard method for rubber. They are not used for commercial rose propagation.
