Are you still lying down in a darkened room after that @AnniD?
It's always difficult if you take loads of cuttings - and then they work @cazsophieq2019 Have you even got a table, or similar, that you can keep close to the window? Space for growing on, and getting good light levels, are always big factors. It's great to experiment and practise though. It's the best way to learn.
While I'm here - @AnniD - I saw you've PMd me, but I can't get them to work just now, so I can only see the first line!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Actually l quite enjoyed the brain workout @Fairygirl 😁. No worries about the PM. That's an impressive amount of cuttings @cazsophieq2019, fingers crossed for a good "take". Cushty !
I know what the PM was about though @AnniD I'm not convinced on your theory though
Good luck with the cuttings @cazsophieq2019. You just have to keep an eye on them - check them every day, turn them for light, keep them away from temperature extremes and draughts etc.

@Eustace That's a good idea about the filing trays, not I can do that with mine but if you post a pic that might help.
@AnniD Hope you've now recovered following your brain workout lol. Think I'll check out out those trays in the link you posted. ........ 'lavvly jabbly!' Obsessively checking my cuttings every day lol
@Fairygirl Emmmm ..... yeah I did think that, gosh ..... what if they all strike ....... my house will look like 'Day of the Triffids' or 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' - surely I'm not that green fingered ......
My two pence worth: Holly is really slow and you will probably run out of patience. Ceanothus is difficult. Rosemary may root in water in the kitchen. The last one is probably an aster which will root easily. Roses are easy this time of year: take long (8-12") hard woodcuttings, use rooting compound. Put them in a gritty stony mix, keep them moist to begin with, leave them outside in a sheltered place and forget about them until next spring. Most will probably have rooted.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

These are the ones that l use, l can get two side by side on the kitchen windowsill. Other suppliers are available, mine came from a local "hardware" type shop.

You can stack them using maybe upturned plant pots for support.
