And cut the broken stems into 6 inch pieces, making each bottom cut just
below a bud, and tick them all into a pot of soil. There is a remote
chance that one of them may root. It's a very remote chance, but you
never know.

I broke off a shoot of Glenfiddich last year and did the above and I've now
got a new rose... do I get a prize?

I was being very hesitant about chance of success because it's not the
right time of year for cuttings, and I wasn't sure whether there was any
chance of success if the cutting didn't have at least a bit of leaf.

When did you do yours? If it was this time of year, then that means
Rhiannon has a better chance of getting something to strike.

I think it must have been early or mid summer during one of my infrequent
weeding blitzes on the docks and bindweed.

Yes, that would make all the difference - they'd have been in leaf. They
strike easily at that time of year. I just don't know about now.
