Ann you want to make sure you strip off any buds on your cuttings. Those do rob a lot of energy from your scion and it needs that energy to produce roots. As far as the leaves falling off did they look like they turned black and kind of mushy? Too much moisture and your cuttings may rot before they root.

Hi Linda

There's no reason why your doubles won't root again depending on the variety. Regular garden varieties (non exotics) root easily. Pride of Hankins is the rootstock we use to graft with and it's a double. That variety can root just about anywhere and roots will go through concrete...well almost. : )
