I can see a minimum of 40 cuttings off the first cut on Garden Friends so far.  Sounds good. I was reading about cuttings last night. I would love some pictures to see how they are done is there a book or video or something I can look at. For future reference mind! |

Found, growing 16 to 20 up, produced a strong stem and a lovely flower . Hope you have a good season... Good luck
