Gooseberries ...

... can you root soft wood cuttings?  Well tis a bit late to ask really cos I'm 2 days into trying it, but any tips and advice would be useful.  

Even if it is chuck em out and make room in the greenhouse for something that will grow!

I think they'd do better in pots outside.  Reasoning is that it doesn't get so hot, so evaporation from leaves is reduced.
 

I took some a couple  of months ago.  They're outside & have leaves now.  (haven't checked for roots)  Keep them moist - in a gritty compost so they are  never waterlogged.
