Kathleen,
you must have magic fingers. I've never been able to make that work, or
maybe I over-watered. However, I've had really good luck with layering -
leave the branches attached to the mother plant, pull them down and weight
them down with a rock somewhere along the middle of the branch. A little
dirt over the branch at that point helps. They root under the rock, and can
be cut and and transplanted after six months or so, when the roots are set.

Jan,
I started upright rosemary from cuttings. I took the cuttings from rosemary
in the freeway median in Las Vegas, pulled off the lower leaves, crammed
them
all in the same clay pot, and put it on the patio. It was probably early
March 2 1/2 yrs ago. I didn't know enough to use rooting hormone or misting
or anything fancy. They all struck and are now handsome topiaries.
