Please check out my followup to yellow_rose_man about rooting cuttings. I hope this helps a lot of you.

Also, I think I forgot to mention that I used 'Stim-root #2' on hardwood cuttings and #1 on semi-ripe cuttings. The hardwood ones should be allowed to callus before they are powdered and stuck -- they take a very long time to root. Semi-ripe cuttings are much easier but care to keep them from drying out is essential. Keep the sand that they are stuck in moist during the growing on time for best results.
