Geum - taking cuttings

Hello
Is it okay to put cuttings straight into a flower bed rather than pot up in fresh compost?
The reason I ask is that yesterday I cut back this Geum Lional Cox as it was spilling over onto the patio. Then I decided to plant up the pieces I has cut off as they had some roots but I had run out of compost so I planted a few in a flower bed and the others round the edge of a pot with a small patio rose. I did water them afterwards.

As long as the soil is kept moist then they should be all right straight into the garden. Unless of course it is like ours and they get lost in the weeds.
Hi Berghill
Thanks for the advice. Luckily that bit of the flower bed is weed free at the moment as I dug it over after removing as old hebe shrub.
