As in this case, there is a risk of infection of the bushes rot. To implement such a reproduction bushes in the period from September to October. Although it is necessary to consider that delays can significantly reduce the survival of seedlings, and in the worst case and lead to their death.

But as soon as the first leaves, the plant should survive the stress, and root finally. Make him cling all the forces of life will allow so-called "cold stratification".
