clematis cuttings
 

On the way back from posting a letter, I passed the front garden of
someone hacking lumps off their clematis. So I now have a handful of
"cuttings". It's a montana, single lilac flowers with pale yellow
stamens.

What's the best bet for getting a root off this ? Should I root in
water or just stick them in a pot & hope ?

Prepare cuttings in the normal way:- clean cut with sharp blade, dip in
rooting hormone if you must BUT!!!! CUT HALFWAY BETWEEN LEAF NODES.

I seem to remember that some clematis root at the node whilst others are
inter node rooters, but How you tell which is which I don't know
