    @Bear1 I'd leave them a month or two longer, I've had cuttings produce shoots in spring dug them up to discover minimal or no root growth.
    As to what to do then; what did you take the cuttings for in the first place?

      Want to plant it in a gap in hedge for some colour not sure of the rose type seems to grow half way between a shrub and rambler and has double petals only slightly open at centre and pink , I suspect its a very old rose from a cottage garden long gone knowbody knows who planted it , also I have a habit of taking cuttings then work out where to put it after lol

        They can easily make growth like that from the sap stored in the wood and the water taken up from the ground.
        I agree with the others leave alone for a full year before thinking of checking for roots.

          @Bear1 I was in the garden yesterday and looked at a number of hawthorn cuttings, taken last autumn, all had got buds swelling and even bursting. I pulled a couple up and not a sign of roots, stuck them back in with the 10 or so. They can sit there until next spring.
