How hard is it to root red currants? Can I do it right now, with a plant
that is just pushing buds?

I have a feral red currant that I got as a seedling in my uncle's back yard.
I've had it for more than 20 years, now, and it is in decline. Also, I'd like
to use that spot for a Carmine Jewel cherry, but I'd like to save part of the
plant if I could. I will try to transplant it, but that's dicey with an old
ailing plant. I wondered if I might also try to cut off some twigs and root
them, and how to do that.

Thanks,
Ginda
