Smile Have I done the right thing with my Rose cuttings?...help!

Hi all,
Just want some advise weather I've done the right going.
Last Sunday I bought 3 Rose climbers from my local nursery,they are small cuttings about 6 inches tall.
I soaked the cuttings in water over night after 3 days of buying them and then this morning I potted them.
I got my well matured horse manure and filled 3 pots about half way each and mixed it all well..I then took my usual compost and put that on top of the manure on each pot and mixed all that in too.....I then made 3 deep small holes in each pot and planted in my cuttings then I watered each pot well.
I just want to know if I've done this right and also is it true you should but a plastic bag over cuttings to tap moisture?..I haven't so far.......
Thanks!
