Use this trick to keep your cuttings fresh until you can stick them.
Wrap cutting ends in damp paper towels, place in a gallon size zip lock bag. Close the bag, except for a small space at the end of the 'zipper'.
Blow into the bag, causing it to expand, like a balloon. Quickly close the bag 'zipper'.
Plants need carbon dioxide to live. We inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide. Therefore, you are giving them a good supply of what they need when you blow into the bag.
The cuttings will stay fresh for a long time.

Oh. I thought I had to rush to the potting bench and pot them right up.
What do you think of taking cuttings of old wood on last year's snaps?
They might root. I never thought of trying to root snaps.
Try it, and let us know.
I don't have any, or I would try it myself.
