I use cuttings of firm new growth 2 nodes (eyes) and without any tendrils.... apply 0.3% IBA Rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist takes 25-70 days to root... & yes may be started from seed requires a cold period (the seed) etc.....

I am not as lucky as George, but I have successfully taken cuttings. In the late summer, or early fall, I grab the long vines, that need to be trimmed anyway, run them up through the bottom of a plastic planting pot, tear off the leaves that will be in dirt, dust (or not) with rooting hormone, fill with dirt and water until the ground freezes. Next spring, you have roots. Cut them off the parent plant in the early spring, plant them a couple weeks later. Works for grapes and other vines as well, although I haven't got honeysuckle to root this way. By the way, this is not my idea. It was in a magazine a few years ago and its the only way I can be successful. A brown thumb would describe my gardening abilities. Yet, I persevere :)

I find looking at them the wrong way will cause them to root. Or thinking of them. Or just about anything else. They're pretty forgiving that way.
