Jennifer says to look for cool nights when you are deciding when to propagate or plant roses.
Cuttings should be about a pencil width. Cut your stem right below a leaf node and remove all but a couple of leaves.
Jennifer uses a growing medium that is 50% potting mix and 50% vermiculite or perlite. Place a couple inches into a quart size zipper bag and put your cutting into it. Zip the bag closed and place where it will receive indirect sunlight. You may need to add a little water (a teaspoon) - but wait and see if condensation forms inside the bag before you add water. 
Our growing medium had enough moisture that condensation formed inside all the cutting bags. If you've taken a number of cuttings, be sure to identify them.
