One of my standard roses has developed a lop sided "head". There are no

Any chance of taking a bud or two from the growing side and grafting
those onto the main stem where there is no growth at present?
This is a repost, as I believe I miss-sent the previous one. thanks for
the tip Jeff, but I am afraid that my skills are not up to that! :-(
It wouldn't necessarily help, even if it took, because such lop-sidedness
is often due to the bark on one side not being up to scratch, or so I
deduce from when I have cut such plants down. Of course, I might be
reversing cause and effect here!
