Brugie, I am trying to root a cutting now in a jar of water. I accidentally broke off a piece so I'm trying to root it. I think I have heard that Crossvine roots easily.

Woodspirit, I think Crossvine, Bignonia capreolata, just comes in "Tangerine Beauty" and regular like mine; although, Rylaff looks like he may have new hybrid because the colors aren't the same as mine or Tangerine Beauty.
