My cuttings rooted!!!

I just checked on my 3 cuttings of Seven Sisters that I stuck around 3 weeks ago (don't remember exactly when), and all three have roots!!! Two of the three have a little top growth as well. This is my very first attempt, so as you can imagine, I'm ecstatic!

Now I just hope I didn't doom them by being impatient and digging them out to check. I have all 3 in a flower pot, each covered with a 2 liter bottle. Since I couldn't see roots any other way, I gently dug them up. Think they'll survive? I immediately put them back in their little home, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I also have cuttings of New Dawn, Climbing Blaze, and my rose that I suspect to be Mr. Lincoln. I'm going to be sure and be much, much more patient with them and wait a long while before disturbing them. ;)

I'm new at this too. Isn't it exciting? I recently got roots on Don Juan and a David Austin rose called Tess of the D' urberville.
I have a few more I just potted up so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Yes, it is very exciting! I just hope and pray that they don't die now because of my impatience.
