Cuttings … I have taken many, but how should I keep them alive until planting out in the Spring?

Pot them up and keep in your greenhouse over winter. If you have no heating and need some I have seen the following suggestion but not tried it out:If there are any really tender ones make a little mini greenhouse inside the big one. If that still isn't adequate you could try adding a long lasting candle under a inverted terracotta pot making sure enough air can reach it to keep it burning.

That’s interesting .. many thanks Sue. More or less what my practical OH suggests 🙂.

Stera, I'm going to try your tip of a greenhouse within. It could help with the slug problem too.
