A while ago I planted 5 bouganvilleas in a row to be sure of getting one.
As it turned out three took and bloomed.

The most vigourous was a violet one closely followed by a pure white one,
and just lately an orange one is breaking through.

Having the three colours together gives a fantastic display, though I have
to cut them back severly sometimes, and the things bloom all year round!

Have you tried some rooting powder (indoleacetic acid and 2,4,T mixture)
with the cuttings?

I made a couple of cuttings a couple of weeks ago of my Barbra Kurst
variety,
one of the easiest to grow in the Bougie family, for me anyway. He dropped
its
last bloom so I cut it back for new growth. its in a pot, indoors, here in
the
east. 2 of the cuttings have shown new leafs at the tips, but when i check
for
roots, i don't see any. If I plant them as they are, would they grow
without
showing roots? I would keep it a closed container for humidity sake. Also,
I
have another Bogie, that goes as a Harissi variety with variegated leaves,
but
no flowers in 6 years...why? I treat it the same as the one above and that
blooms at least twice a year.
