nope but my sister was able to graft one..i think you have to read this link to know further.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

Many people choose to graft their rosess to help them grow better and to bloom better.Grafting is not necessarily difficult , but it does require some skill and some fore thought before making attempt. Rosess are among the easiest plants to graft rose grafting is much like any other type of plant grafting.It is basically taking one part of a plant (USUALLY A PIECE OF STEM)and attaching it surgically to he root or stem with roots of another plant.The top portion of the graft the stem is known as the scion. It is called either a budwood or bud stick. The bottom part of the grafted rose plant is called the stock,although some people refer to it as the under stock or the root stock . The union is the place on the plant where the scion as the stock are healed together. On rosess this is usaually some place below the side line. The best time for grafting rosess is when the blooms are fading and their petals are dropping , but before the buds swell up in preparation for the nest flowering. When grafting it is essential to do it quickly. The cut surface can dry out in seconds ,so try to perform the surgery as soon as quickly as possible. Make sure you are weel prepared before the cut is made. It is a good idea to practice making cuts before hand to get the hang of making smooth cut quickly.

It is easier said than done. The tricky part is not only the grafting itself but in taking care of the plant after grafting. It must not be moved at anytime after the grafting process.

Is it really important to graft? Aside from the roses, what other plants could be grafted? I haven't heard about this graft procedure. This could be an additional information for me.

Grafting seems to be a difficult task. How do you maintain the plant once it is grafted? What could be its difference from the other ordinary plants?

its just very simple which i could say you.
just cut and take a part of the two plants soak it in water for 2 days . you can visually see the budding in it now on one side of both the stems make a cut of 30degree.oin both the stems and tie it tight. plant it in a pot. do water it frequently.
hope so this will be useful for u.
