Can anyone tell me how to take cuttings from Red currant and Black currant bushes

Thanks

Take about 12 inch cutting/pruning of this years wood, cut off tot inch or so.
Remove any shoots or leaves on the lower 3/4, and then shove in soil.
Best to do it a bit later though, novemberish.

When I prune mine, I automatically pop all likely bits in a "cutting bed", and then keep or give away any that grow.
Usually at least 3/4 take.
