That's about the worst time to root them. Once the buds break, the cuttings won't root. Much easier to wait a few weeks and root some green cuttings under mist. Or take dormant cuttings in the fall and plant them in moist sand on the sheltered side of a building. When they leaf out in spring they are rooted and can be set out. I used to do it for a big berry nursery.
