Snapdragons and roses

Dear All,
after being absent for some time joined the list again some time ago and
enjoyed reading about other people's interest in snapdragons; I love them,
too, and me too, I live in Greece. Here in the southern Peloponnese they
seem to thrive after the winter. We had fewer torrential rainfalls than
others in Greece, but good rain nonetheless. However they seldom or never
self seed. My plants are sturdy and were planted out form seedlings I
started two years ago.

Now: I have seen two roses that I just w a n t ... I know that plants will
grow better if you steal cuttings rather than ask for them ;=), and I know
where to pinch a few shoots on plants where the damage won't be visible.
Question: when is the right time to take cuttings? Can one take cuttings?
One of the two is a wonderful bushy rose with small, pink flowers and the
other is a wonderful, wonderful orange and pink climbing type. (I have
noticed a few other cars -except mine- that have stopped on the road just to
have a look!)

Greetings from Greece, currently a humid green-house,
Gunnar
