Default Starting rosemary from cuttings?

My Gram has a few prolific rosemary bushes (both the bushy variety and the crawling variety) that I would like to start in my own pots from cuttings. I tried once this past spring, with a few cuttings from each plant dipped in rooting hormone and stuck into some peat, but the peat just got moldy and the cuttings died. Is there a trick to rooting rosemary cuttings? My Gram is no help, she says she just stick the cuttings in the ground and they grow. Well, I'm in an apartment and she's got some of the best soil in the state (first thing she did when they moved to Texas 40+ years ago was get her soil tested and start amending it so she could garden), so I'm out of luck. How should I go about it if I'm able to get my hands on some cuttings again?
