a few questions on cuttings

19 years ago

Hi,

I was over a friend of mine's house today and noticed she had a nice large Star of India on her telephone pole.

She said I could have some cuttings.

I've never rooted clematis before, but have looked at some clematis cutting how-tos and am very very experienced at rooting roses, pelargoniums, grapes.....

Is it too late for this year, or should I just wait until next year? I've over wintered rose cutting inside, so could probably over winter clems, but would they root this time of year?

Which works better - green or brown wood? I suppose I could try some of both.

For roses, I do a thin scratch about an inch or so long along the bottom of the stem and roots form along this scratch. Does this also work for clems?

TIA
