They also are not keen on that! better to start with a new plant, try and
remember to strike some cistus cuttings about every 4 or 5 years and have a
policy of pensioning off old plants as they become leggy and old, they are
not long lived and only look great when young and middle aged, old plants
can look rather un sightly, cuttings strike well enough in early Autumn in a
cold frame or similar.

Thanks for the tip.
Will use this one for cuttings this year.
