That then brings me to my next question: where can I order flowering quince rootstock online from? You'd think it wouldn't be too hard, but Raintree only has cydonia rootstock, One Green World doesn't have any quince and a general Google search turns up more results for pear rootstocks and barely mentions that quince rootstocks exist. I may just have to purchase a couple trees instead, but I really want to try my hand at grafting them.

Also, Eric, when would you recommend taking the cuttings and planting them. My March and April are probably like your February and March, respectively. Thanks for the advice.

Wow, those are impressive results. I'd be happy to get 40%. That's very encouraging though, especially since you didn't even use a rooting hormone. I'm definitely going to give that a shot, thanks for the help. I'll probably do it in February or March and I'll make a follow up post in April or May, depending on the progress.

I'm really glad that they're pretty easy to root without rooting hormone. Did you also take the cutting and plant them during dormancy?

That's excellent. I'll have to wait until about late February or early March. Maybe earlier, but it's been a weird winter. We've had days with single digit temperatures and plenty of snow, but then we'll have days like today where it's in the 40's.
