Post #6671330

I just recieved a cutting of an apothecary's rose (gallica, easy to start) from another DGer, and it was a little soft,maybe less than generously wrapped, anyhow upshot of the story is the cuttings looked pretty wilted by the time they arrived. I slammed them into some water and quickly after that into some hormone and medium. Extra wet, hoping to revive it. Have I done wrong? should I have put it in water first? Was it hopeless from the start?

Should I simply try to get another, harder cutting?
