Sorry, was in a hurry. Best of luck with Belle Etoile. It is the one Philadelphus which has failed to root for me for some reason. Take 9 inches to 12 inches long pieces of the new growth (light brown in colour), cut below leaf joint and remove all the leaves except the top 2 pairs. Sometimes helps if you also rub out the leaf buds on the bits which will be under the compost.
Always take at least 6 cuttings, the rule is that 1 never roots but all 6 will.
