Best results with cuttings, at least here in Oregon, come when you take
the cuttings in the fall before all the leaves are off. Six inch
cuttings, put about 4-5 inches into sand in a protected locale will
sprout out in spring and be ready to set out.
I have the new thornless "Jeanne" going that way. First berries on it
this year, but not yet ripe. It's a late ripening variety, so it
extends the season.

Thank you. I'll go with root cutting or burying a branch. I didn't
think seeds would come true but that would be interesting to see what
is produced.
