I thought I'd replied to this before.

When I cut my lonicera in the past and not picked it up from open soil, it often self rooted. During the summer months that is. Three cuts a year. May, September and some time in between.

works for all most shrubs, you can leave in a sheltered place, not full sun though if for any reason it is dry for a week or so, don't forget to water it
