Honeysuckle cuttings

Can you take cuttings from honeysuckle when in flower and if so how please ? Neighbours are having a fence panel replaced over which it climbs and seems a shame not to.

i have had great success with honeysuckle cuttings, though never tried when in flower.

Find a new shoot and snip off just above the "nodule" or "joint" of the plant. Put into water and allow to root, or as I do, dip into rooting powder and plant into soil in a greenhouse.

Thanks - have taken 4 cuttings and hopefully some will take.

is it normal for them to wilt in the interim ?
