 But....when do you take the stem cuttings?

Mr. Lincoln is a hybrid tea.  Hybrid tea roses are usually not grown on their
own roots, but rather are propagated by T-budding onto hardier & healthier
(often rugosa) rootstock.  Hardiness may not be an issue in zone 8, but
nematode resistance probably is.  If you decide to use T-budding, which is
recommended, it is usually done in the spring in milder climates, but
elsewhere in the summer.  

Roses can be  propagated by hardwood cuttings taken in the fall to early
winter, or softwood cuttings made from early spring to late summer. 

I have not personally propagated any hybrid tea roses (you might recall I am
the one who called them "wretched weaklings").  So, you might want to check
with rose growers in your area for additional advice.  --Janis
