I have cut back the suckers and self-rooted branches from a large VT and
now have 10 or more apparently healthy plants each with its own root
system.The parent plant is in full bud. None of the "new plants" has
any buds. If I plant them as is will they bud and flower - when- or
just stay green?
Thanks

They will make large flowering shrubs just as good as the parent
plant, but IME it takes them a couple of years of independent life,
before they get back into the full swing of flower production again.

Plant them out and flowers will eventually form. Usually takes a
couple of years~~ Growth is quite vigorous. Those that are a single stem
would benefit if their tops were removed to stimulate branching. They will
be true to type.
Best Wishes Brian.

(interrupt ...)
.... or you could keep the single stem and train them as standard. They
fetch a pretty penny in the garden centres.
(interruption ended. Apologies to Brain at 38).
