Basically, you choose a rootstock that is good for your soil, then graft on
whatever you want.
Over here, Sydney, NSW, it was Common Lemon stock, but I have no idea what
the current fashion is.
You propagate common lemon from cuttings, then gaft at 4'(?). Sigh, too
long since I learnt all that. The problem would be getting common lemon
stock. Just look for a thorn old lemon.

there is bound to be a fruit tree nursery around, ot try your local
sunday markets, often grafters sell stock there. maybe a local produce
agency can help?
yu will be wanting grafted stock the easiest way to go.
