Old-fashioned propagation

Hi guys,
Got three cuttings of an unidentified camellia that came from a 12' tall and 5' wide very old and healthy bush in Ocean, NJ.

Brought them home to Ayer, MA and jammed them into the shaded boggy soil that has successfully rooted hydrangea, magnolia and viburnum. After 8-9 weeks here, they look pretty good. I see new leaves forming and figure they are almost ready for their forever home. The few yellow leaves I see are probably because their current location is probably too wet and they can use iron and other minerals.

The parent bush gets totally covered in large red blooms every year. I believe flower buds start to form this year for next, correct? If so, it's time to move these guys. Here's what they look like now. Any suggestions? All replies appreciated.
