/mock orange/cuttings

IF no rootone should I make a new cut and put on rootone? I have 3 different strengths.

Tip cuttings are the easiest to root. Make them at least three nodes long so she can bury two nodes. Wrap them loosely in damp newspaper and wrap that bundle in bubble wrap well enough to keep the damp newspaper from leaking. Put the package in a padded envelope and mail it "Priority". If you have RooTone, you might dip the ends of the cuttings in it before wrapping them up; if you don't have RooTone, don't worry about it.

I have 2. One I bought as a "native" syringa. They lied. It is a lovely
double, but not what I wanted at the time so it got chopped, ripped out
&
moved to the far SW corner of my property, full sun. It has never grown
tall
again, but is getting wider, blooms profusely & smells heavenly. The
other
is a local syringa, Philidelphus lewisii, single like the ones in the
woods
and smells even better. Sucker from one in a friend's yard. It is on the
east side full sun most of the day. Wish I could send you some of the
perfume. Want to try a cutting?

Kitty,
What did you do to get it to bloom? I have had one about 25 years ago
that

was wonderful... huge, smelled wonderful and bloomed every year.  I

have

tried now for 4-5 years to get one to bloom but never have had one

bloom.

I

moved it this last fall and it lived but still no blooms.
I moved it into more sun so I thought that might help.

We were supposed to get rain Fri-Sat-Sun, none so far except Thurs
overnight. I spent about 6 hrs in the garden yesterday and got a few
things
done. While looking for spaces to tuck things in, lo and behold, my
Mock
Orange was blooming! No fragrance, but at least it bloomed. It's a
sprawling, leggy thing with little to its credit, so it may still get
yanked
someday. But after trying for 15 yrs to get a Philadelphus to
flower,

I
did
derive some pleasure from this one blooming in its third year.

Thanks to Rich's rain dance..  we had a good amount of rain last

night

so
weeding will be easier.  Hey anyone want some very invasive

BAMBOO!!!??

Have

to go cut some down..  No I wasn't the one who  planted it.. the
owners

before

me did, and my guess is they knew nothing about  gardening.  ;(
