Several weeks ago I took cuttings from several shrubs around the area. I prepared the cuttings, dipped them in rooting hormone and put them in pots filled with a mixture of sand and perlite. I placed them in the basement that has no heat thinking that would be cool enough for them, but they have all started to leaf out and the lilacs are sending out flower blossoms. My question is should I cut off the flowering buds and is there any chance they are getting roots or did they get too warm causing them to leaf out?

Thank you.
