If you do your cuttings in October, you might also want to treat them and the soil with an anti-fungal agent. It is a bit dicey when the nights get cold and shorter. Even in a warm greenhouse (mine are out in the cold) the shorter days and moisture can cause mildew to grow and you can lose almost all of your cuttings. One day they look great, the next day, they are covered with blooming mildew.
It certainly doens't stop me from doing cuttings this time of year, I just know I could lose around half of them.
Here is a new photo of the Gartenmeisters from this morning. They just got moved out of the deep northern shade from where I keep my cuttings, into the full sun of the front porch. I don't know if you can tell, but there are fewer of them now, as some did not make it even though there were growing.
Now that they are in the light, they will really take off.
