Actually, if you just stick the (bottom) end of the cutting in some stuff 
called "Root Tone" and stick it in the ground or a pot then the rosemary 
should simply start growing and putting forth roots.  I don't believe I've 
ever seen anyone put it in water to root.  Make sure you have the right type 
of soil for the plant, as with every plant.
