Hi Jennifer
Honeysuckles are really easy to start. I robbed some cuttings from a neighbor and just plunked them in the ground, no rooting hormone (ran out) or anything. I didn't think that I would be successful but they are growing like a weed. As for keeping them on your trip home, try whatever method you can to keep the cut end moist, a wet paper towel wrapped around cut end and put in a ziplok bag should do it, or take some pots and plant them at your Moms. I once came home with a whole case of pop bottles crammed with cuttings.
Good luck
