Cuttings
 

Hi

I've just taken some cuttings from established bushes, but they were in
flower.
So I've pulled the flowers off them and potted them up.
Just wanted to know if they would root, sorry don't know the names of
plants.

Thanks Janet

Did I do the right thing by pulling the flowers off though?

With no name or description, there's no way of guessing.
Keep the pots shaded and watered, and wait and see.

The best time to take cuttings of shrubs is in the autumn time when the leaves have fallen. These are hardwood cuttings and take a year to root so a little patients is required. If you keed yo compost or soil moist I think that they should root ok but it may take some time for them to root.

Thankyou
