propagation of non-hardy mums

Has anyone tried this? There are a few florist's mums or non-hardy (not sure what their correct name is) that I really love. The ones I like are fairly expensive (to me) for an annual plant. I do have a greenhouse. Has anyone tried wintering these over? What about taking cuttings for next year? If it is a patented plant, can I save cuttings for myself as long as I don't sell/give them away?

How are they propagated?

I would treat it as I would a fushia, geranium or any cutting of that nature. We just cut and stick in dirt with a little moisture, but we can do about anything that way. Do you have a heat bed? On the patented plants, it is my understanding if it's for your personal us yes you can do cuttings.
