Personally, I would hold them a couple months. But last year I bought
a couple hundred of these in late Feb, holding them until late April
when I could start them outdoors in my unheated greenhouse, and some
of the cuttings had already become desiccated and I lost about 25% of
them... which is to say I wouldn't hold them for too long..

They just mailed them to me and the instructions imply that I should root
them in water and plant in
soil, then outside when danger of frost is past, or just in soil and then
outside. I put them in
the refrigerator temporarily.
My question is, does it seem reasonable to start them like this so early? I
would have to do it
inside or course, we aren't past the danger of frost until Mother's day
(middle of May) and it was
10F below zero night before last...
