me too, fascinating stuff, I've taken my info from a book for Melbourne
conditions & it makes no mention of a or b varieties at all, stating that in
the Melbourne climate different varieties for x-pollination are not
necessary, mine is about 3 years old and had its first 'baby' this season,
it got to be about the size of a walnut & fell off, I was in mourning for
the day :(

That could have been Rootone, or one of the other brands of root
stimulators.

I've also been meaning to ask- my grandfather did a lot of grafting,
and I would watch him. He used to dip the end of the part he was
grafting into some white powdery stuff he got at the nursery. This
was in the early 1960's. He told me what it was, but of course, I
can't remember. He used this white powder to graft roses, also, and
made beautiful varigated carnations with the same method. Anyone have
any idea what the substance was?
Thanks,
Karen
