I've been trying to root Confederate and Maid of Orleans jasmine without any success. Does anyone know how to get these to root? I've tried tip cuttings. Do I need older growth or maybe layering?

I can identify with taking a hammer to it!! Oh, that's not what you meant?? I will try layering and also the hammer method. (No, I won't hammer the whole plant, it's in a good clay pot)
Cala
I LIKE the hammer suggestion! Have you tried it on other plants, and if so, which ones? Maybe that's what I ned to do with my buddleia cuttings.

Thanks, I will try that too. All the first ones rotted so I took more. These are about 10 inches long and I used GA on them to see if it helps.

Cala, I have rooted several Confederate Jasmines by simply burying part of the stem in dirt and placing a rock on it. if it's in a pot as you say, take a low branch and bury it, you can bend a wire like a hairpin to hold it down in the dirt. I really think it is the wrong season to be rooting this way, they sort of go dorment. It may take 2-3 months to root.
