What to do for my rose bush cuttings with yelling leaves

This is my third attempt at rooting my grand-mothers' rose cutthings that have been in the family for three generations now. They are now in a special little greenhouse on my kitchen counter. Gel rooting hormone was applied to the roots and placed in little cubes and moistened almost a week ago. There are several on the outside edge of the container that the leaves are starting to yellow but the stems are very green. Any advice?

Hi Karrie
I root rose cuttings in a gritty slit trench in the garden - no rooting hormone - just leave them alone for 12 months.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well, this is what I have and cannot change them right now. What to do when the leaves start to yellow? I have read not to worry too much as it is drawing nutrients out of the leaves but cannot be sure. are not overwatered, but may need some by now.
That should have read yellowing..Hydrogen peroxide was added to water to hopefully help it along. Any thoughts on this? We live in central Texas btw. I did put a few stems in potting soil, watered them and enclosed them in a a cling type wrap, placed them in a semi sunny location, to hopefully get some to root. How long does it take to see any signs of rooting?
