Photo of Camellia rooted ???

Last November I was passing by an old house that had a huge camellia,in full bloom, growing beside it. 'The shrub was taller than the house - just beautiful ! I happened to have my camera with me and got a picture.

I was thinking about "borrowing" a cutting of it (the house was abandoned) when an elderly lady from the house next door came out. The house belonged to her.It had been her mother's. Anyway, I did get to ask for permission to get some cuttings.

Those cuttings have now been in my rooting tub since mid november. About 5 of those cuttings still have green leaves. Do you think they are rooted ???? How long should I wait before planting a few in the ground---- April, May?
