Borrowed from: Rose Propagation by Dr. William C. Welch
When to take the cuttings:
Roses may be rooted at any time of the year, but for home gardeners, success is much more likely during the cool months from November through February. Late fall is a favorite time because there are usually a few blossoms still remaining on everblooming types to identify them.
More help on propagation:
Hortus USA: Simplified propagation techniques
So, if your North of the Equator, now is good. South You may have better success if you wait till June.

Thank you that's great. I actually striked several roses in May this year (cool month) and they're growing rapidly. However, I'm interested in knowing when they are likely to flower?

The first year is critical, if everything went perfectly you could expect small blossoms the first year after striking, and as the plant gains strength in the intervening years, the blossoms would increase in size.
