Rugosa's are supposed to be difficult, more so than other Rose varieties. 
I've had good luck with them, so I don't see the problem.  Anyway, now is
the time.  Emphasis should be placed on using cuttings that have recently
bloomed;  no sooner, no later.

There is a slew of web-sites on rooting roses.  Here's a good one.

Rugosa's are extremely easy from seed, also.  I've got varieties that I've
collected from all over Northern Germany.  This was before I discovered
that Rose seeds are not allowed to be brought back into the States.  Too
bad; I've got the plants and I'm keeping 'em.
