    Take them now.

    Cut a section about 10cm.
    Just below a leave joint.
    Remove all but the top two or three leaves.
    Dip the cuttings into hormone rooting powder tapping off any excess.
    insert the cuttings into holes made with a dibber round the edge of a pot filled with moist compost.
    Water lightly and cover with a plastic dome or polythene bag. Should have rooted in 2-4 weeks.
    repot into individual pots.

    Take the cuttings now, before frost kills your fuschia.
