Honeysuckle Propagation: Layering vs. Rooted Runners

What's the proper procedure for propagating honeysuckle?

Two Reliable Methods

Method 1 - Rooted runners: Dig up naturally rooted stems near the mother plant. Method 2 - Layering: Wound a vine (don't sever), apply rooting hormone (Rootone), bury under soil with a rock to hold. Water weekly (1+ inch). Roots in ~8 weeks. Both work well; layering is more controlled.
