Don't root the whole branches, as they will almost certainly fail.
Remove the new shoots by holding them tightly at the base and
carefully prising them downwards and away from the old stem so that
you get a 'heel' of the old wood. Dip the ends in rooting compound
(powder or liquid) if you believe in it. Pot them up into a mixture of
equal parts peat and sand or peat and perlite, give them a swish with
a watering can and enclose in a polythene bag. You may need a hoop of
wire to keep the bag in shape. Place on good light but out of direct
sunlight. Gentle bottom heat helps. They may be rooted by next spring
if you're lucky.

Thanks once again, have followed instructions and will be hoping for the
best next Spring,it`s worth a try :-)
