After purchasing a few shrubs last week at high cost considering
taking a few cuttings.
Grateful for advice:-
1. Is the time of the year ok to take shrub cuttings.
2. We have a greenhouse. Should I locate the cuttings over winter
in the greenhouse or in sheltered place behind greenhouse?
3. Any other tips?
Thanks,
John

Perhaps if you were to name the shrubs, we could provide specific
advice.

Yes, say:-

Holly
Berberis
Hebe
Bamboo
Acer
Hydrangea
Viburnham
Cherry
Hawthorne
Rose
Spiria
Clematis
Penstemon
Cotinus
Philadelphus

In that case your garden's certainly big enough to make it worthwhile
to get _The Reader's Digest Encyclopedia of Gardening_. It's a
cracker, to the extent that you may never actually need another book;
but once you've started, you may be unable to stop!

No, not a large garden.
Helping children ...thought I'd find out a few fundamentals myself first.
Children spent time visiting neighbours and friends gardens identifying
shrubs they'd like to grow...
....I'm of to the library.
