    I'd say at least the black bit is dead😕

    😪 thanks @B3 Oh well time to try something else. Every cloud and all that. I can confirm clematis Josephine doesn't root in water. Or at least my efforts with it. Next to try is delphinium. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Try another bit. Someone said clematis will root.

    I had about half a dozen. Perhaps I'm cutting at the wrong point. I will try again

    I was wondering that too. Mine still look fresh though

    @B3 Do you remember where you cut it? Above or below a leaf node? New growth? Any advice like this would be welcome. I cut at all different points hoping something would work but I really think I'm cutting the wrong parts

    You're asking the wrong person! I'm totally ignorant of what to do! I haven't left any stem under the node in most of them . I've no idea if that's right. I suppose we ought to look on you tube. There's probably something there.

    Roses are best grown in a trench in the garden, dig a trench about 6” deep cut long pencil size pieces from your roses and plunge them right into the bottom of the trench so only about 3 or 4 inches are poking up, fill trench and leave for a year. 

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    I'll play too. I will try salvia and clematis. Oesteos are dead easy.

    I would pick new, green growth, ideally with no flower bud yet.
