The Sarah Bernhardt root looks alright. The Monsieur Jules Elie at least has a couple of good eyes, but the poor old Duchess de Nemours looks disappointing in my opinion . I would expect the root to be showing its eyes clearly by now. I had a good close up look at the second Duchess photo and l am wondering if it does have a couple of developing eyes on the reddy coloured root. Hopefully someone with more experience than me will know more. I would be inclined to complain about the Duchess root and ask for a replacement.
Just a quick update on the bare roots. I left them soaking in water overnight and the duchess de Nemours now has several eyes developing, and the others have more eyes too. Thanks for the advice people and I will now plant them in pots until I have a permanent home for them?
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Sorry Bob, missed your post before l responded.
We're saying pretty much the same thing lily.
