I guess I can not root encore azaleas ?

Two years ago I planted about 50 Encore Azaleas along the back of my garden. last year I planted 15 around the base of two big Oak trees. I had to dig them up because the trees were sucking up all of the food that they needed. They were in pretty bad shape. I put them back in pots until I decide where to replant them. The guy where I bought them told me to cut them back.

I cut them as he told me. Then I thought, why waste the cuttings. I got some small pots, put root tone on the end of the cut stems and planted a couple 100 of them. That has been about a month ago. I have them in my greenhouse and have kept them watered. Most of the cuttings have turned brown, but some are still green. I have not pulled any up to see if there are roots.

I am a very new gardener, any chance of this working ?
