Since I have never sucessfully rooted a rose, I feel a little out of my league with your question. There are a number of threads on rooting roses on rosarianscorner.net in the 'Prop & Swap' forum. They are friendly bunch and I'm sure someone would have your answer. Until then just keep doing what you're doing as it seems to be working.
Best of luck

Try the following: Prepare a jar of water into which you put cuttings from fresh willow branches. Cut one or more sections of 4-5 inches from the stem, including each time an eye (i.e. a section where the stem branches off). Place the cut rose sections into the jar for one day. Then plant them about 2 inches deep into small containers. Best is a mixture of soil and perlite (from the garden shop). Keep slightly moist, but not too much, more on the dry side. Then keep your fingers crossed!
