Is there a certain process you have to follow immediately after getting a cutting?
I use a rooting hormone. I grow other plants that justify having an expensive cloning gel, but the powdered varieties available at box stores should suffice. The medium you plant them in needs to stay moist, but not drenched. Best 2 tips I have for you.

All of the above. Take the cuttings in the spring. I buy water in 1 liter clear plastic bottles and cut the bottoms off. Set that over your cutting after you plant it in rooting medium such as topsoil. The bottle is like a terrarium and holds in moisture. Water your cutting everyday for 2 weeks and keep it in a shady place, sun will zap it.
