Around the first of February if the weather forecast looks good, some of these transplants from cuttings could be started in the garden early.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. I would plan on getting the multiple cuttings at different times, maybe as early as the 15th and then around the frost time.

To delay even further, you could always wait awhile before transplanting into a pot and then let the plant get rootbound.
