you probably can let them breath, if they didn't wilt then probably they have enough root to keep them hydrated. within a few more weeks buds will start to swell and new leaves and canes will come out. lucky you didn't kill them when you pulled them the first time. nice going. :)

If they have roots the bottle can come off, but you don't want to put them in full sun yet. Dappled shade is excellent. Full but bright shade (no direct sun at first) is the next best thing. Cloudy days are good. A WEAK solution (1/4 strength of the receipe on the bottle) of fish emulsion is a good fertilizer--just a tiny bit, a few drops or a teaspoon full, once every two weeks, should get the growth going.

Getting them through the winter--do you have a cold frame?

Thank you so much for answering! I am glad they caught, as I feel bad for my mom's rose... maybe her cuttings will have a better life...my mom doesn't care for it, but on the other hand does not let me dig it out and take it... she donated her whole yard to some bushes of rasberry, that took over everything.... good to eat, but not worth ruining a whole yard for the sake of it ( my opinion, not hers...)

Sorry, I don't know what a cold frame is.... I saw
something called MiniGreenHouse at Home Depot, it's basically a shelf unit, dressed in a see-through plastic bag with zippers, costs $29 so not that expensive... But I can't imagine anything surviving outside in that thing, during our winters... Please advise, if you think that's useful!

I don't want to put the cuttings in the ground, as we might be moving next spring....

Btw, the soil I used already has some very light fertilizer in it ( 0.2-0.3-0.2) The bottles have been off for 48 hours now and still no wilting! The cuttings are in South Window which has a moskito net, so I guess that's dampled shade... it's my brightest window though

All you really need are shop lights with regular fluorescent bulbs. However, you will need those. It's best to set them up in a room that can be kept cooler than the rest of the house. The amount of natural light doesn't matter since the shop lights are adequate.

Thank you so much for the idea on lightening! I was counting how many night-table lights I have in the house and how I could crowd them all in one place, without realizing that there is a more practical approach to lightening :) I just investigated " shop lights" and it is sure something I need to get. Thank You!
