you might find cuttings a better option they take really easy that was the first real gardening thing i did, might be wot got me hooked. A lady on the way to school had a big bush as part of her hedge i just pulled out a handfull of sprigs and when i got home cut them to about 3in then pulled off a few leaves and stuck it in some compost in a sandwich bag with the top tided. 3 weeks later they had all rooted.
