      Hi Kyle,

      Just a thought. Are you putting them in your Wilkos greenhouse to root?

      Will do!

      The ones in the kitchen have new growth, the others have a few new sprouts, but they're in normal temp, so that's expected.

      Hi Kyle,

      How long ago did you take your Rose cuttings?

      A few weeks ago! I heard on a TV show that you can't really tell if it's rooted until a year after.. so just got to play the waiting game.
