Not necessarily a good time of year for cuttings from all perennials
You might get more reliable results from splitting the clumps. Its not too late to take hydrangea cuttings, and fuchsias if you use hormone rooting powder, but as Pimpernel says if you say what you want to propagate we may be able to advise you better.

Quince last a long time on the bush, October and November is when I harvest them. I just place them in a bowl and they fragrance the room for weeks.
Your cuttings depend upon the plant.
