We had a frost last night (I live in Maryland, Zone 7). I was lucky enough to keep three of my in ground planted brugs alive by covered them with blankets and keeping a light on them all night (didn't that look funny?). I don't have a basement or any other place that I can keep them where it doesn't freeze and they are so big I can't bring them inside. I have taken cuttings and I wanted to know ~ can I place the unrooted cuttings in newspaper or in a bucket of water and keep them in a cool place where it doesn't freeze all winter? I would rather do it that way meaning keep them in water or roll them up in a newspaper from now until spring and than plant them up as plants in the spring? I'm thinking it will take up too much time and space to get them to root and then plant them in soil keep them alive all winter as plants. If anyone has any information on this I would greatly appreciate it. I had two plants that were so beautiful and they didn't bloom until the first week of October so I really would hate to completely lose them. Also, I took the cuttings from above the "Y" as I read to do, however, I also read that the soft cuttings are much harder to root. So how can I root them or what should I do?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really appreciate any help any one can give me.
