Propagation methods: suggestions?

I am looking for suggestions re preferred time to take (and then root)
cuttings from Euonymus alata compacta (dwarf burning bush).  Any ideas
based in actual experience?  In central PA (USDA 6A), the new growth looks
almost perfect for softwood cuttings.

I also plan to make lilac cuttings over the weekend.  The texts say to take
them from softwood cuttings after the plants have bloomed.  Is this the
only appropriate time, or can I move it up into the bloom period a little? 
I guess my question is this: Is it possible to have the softwood lilac
cuttings be too soft?  I know that lilacs are supposed to have a very short
period when cuttings will actually root.  Any experience with rooting
cuttings taken during bloom?
