    Hi Pam 
    Not too sure on why there’s a rosette forming. I’ve never took cutting as I have normally propagated Hosta’s  by division in early spring once new growth appears.
    Hopefully someone else will be able to throw some light on your cuttings

    I cant see how you could do cuttings, have you a photo.

    No I normally split them at the end of the season but in all the years I've grown them I've never had these growths before
