You might try CLONEX. *It's manufactured in the UK.

Here is a site with some info

http://www.growthtechnology.co.uk/Propagation/propagation.htm

Growers in the US can find either Clonex, Hormex, or Dip N Gro at ***CHARLEY*** - Click PROPAGATION then look under Rooting Hormone & Kits. * I prefer Dip N Gro for hardwood cuttings. The powdered hormone is very convenient for softwood cuttings. It's ready-to-use, so you don't have to mix up a fresh batch whenever you have an opportunity to take cuttings.

yes Rootone works very well on softwood cuttings. It also works well in promoting air layering. It may not be strong enough in concentration for hardwood cuttings. That's when you need something like Dip-N-Gro that you can mix up stronger.

A question about dip-n-gro:

One fellow at my local nursery suggested that I use it full-strength right out of the bottle on hardwood cuttings; I've seen suggestions here that I should be diluting it according to the manufacture's instructions instead. Any sense of which approach works better? What about for airlaying instead of for cuttings?

I think you're in a perfect situation to answer your own question. Take your cuttings and plant 1/3 of the flat of hardwood cuttings after treating with hormone diluted to the manufacturer spec (I believe it is something like 10:1), and try the 1/3 of the flat at a higher concentration (1:1) and maybe 1/3 at somethin like 20:1

Every species is different, but my understanding of how dip-N-gro works is it has an acid penetrates the cell walls and a hormone that is absorbed. Too much of a good thing can't be good either.

Propagation is so much an art of timing and technique and getting everything dialed in right for your climate and the type of tree you're working with. Unless you can maintain "laboratory conditions" of humidity, bottom heat and temperature and take all your cuttings from the same species at the same time every year, it would be pretty presumptive for me to tell you exactly how to do it.

Regards,

Matt
