In article , Magwitch writes Kay muttered: And cut the broken stems into 6 inch pieces, making each bottom cut just below a bud, and tick them all into a pot of soil. There is a remote chance that one of them may root. It's a very remote chance, but you never know. I broke off a shoot of Glenfiddich last year and did the above and I've now got a new rose... do I get a prize? I was being very hesitant about chance of success because it's not the right time of year for cuttings, and I wasn't sure whether there was any chance of success if the cutting didn't have at least a bit of leaf. When did you do yours? If it was this time of year, then that means Rhiannon has a better chance of getting something to strike. I think it must have been early or mid summer during one of my infrequent weeding blitzes on the docks and bindweed. |

They strike easily at that time of year. I just don't know about now. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
