Gooseberry and Blackcurrant cuttings.

I've never had much success with taking cuttings before, they have always died in the past. Today I took heel(?) cuttings from goosberry and blackcurrant bushes. They are currently in water awaiting some sage advice on what to do next.

I have pots, cutting compost and hormone rooting powder. I would love any suggestions that would help me do this properly. A couple of questions;

1) Do I need to keep the cuttings in a propogator?

2) if they are going to take root how long will it take until they are established?

Thanks

I FIND THAT THE BEST WAY FOR BLACKCURRANTS ,IS TO COUNTER SINK POTS AROUND YOUR BUSH AND BEND THE BRANCHES INTO THE POTS AND PUT A SMALL SLICE INTO THE BEND AND BURY IT FORMLY IN THE POT,KEEP MOIST AND NEXT YEAR ONCE ROOTED YOU CAN SEVOUR COMPLETELY AND ALREADY POTTED UP READY TO MOVE

Gooseberry and blackcurrant cuttings should be taken in the October from that years growth, take a good well ripened shoot, trim the soft wood end to just above a bud, trim the bottom end to just below a bud. Rub off all but the top 4 buds. Cutting should be about 10-15 inches long.  Make a V trench, 7-8 inches deep, I do this by putting a spade in straight and pushing away from myself to make a gap. Pop in the cutting - top couple of buds should be showing.  Refill the gap. Water and care for as normal.  Next Autumn you should have rooted cuttings.  
When you plant the cuttings to their new sites you need to cut them back any weak low side shoots for the gooses, half the length of any stronger uper branches, for the blackcurrants you need to cut back hard as you would do planting any new blackcurrant bush.

(PS red/white currants can be done the same as the gooseberries)
(PPS I have done gooses and reds like this but in large tubs not into the V trench in the grow and they work too)
(PPPS also done it with winter prunings taking in February and they did root but not that Autumn had to wait until the next year)
