Several years ago I receive a batch of cuttings in late fall from 
Texas.  To experiment, I stuck some outdoors in a cold frame without 
the top and some indoors under lights.  Ispahan took both indoors and 
out.  Complicata took only indoors.  I used DipnGrow indoors, but not 
out.  Ispahan outdoors took off like a weed in the spring, numerous 
canes to 3 feet.

I also got takes indoors from that Texas batch of Maggie and Nur 
Mahal.  They were not completely dormant, but not actively growing 
either.  I have also taken cuttings of Buck roses about this time of 
year and had them root in the basement.
