They may be too warm Wills. Are you watering from underneath? My cuttings are just misted and in a GH in shade, it's warm but with plenty of air circulation. I'd get the lid off firstly and put them in a shady GH if you have one, and mist them rather than give regular watering. Only water if they are really drying out.
Did you take the leaves off from one half of the cutting? The 3rd picture down is what I mean...

My thought too Dave - if they're covered and in too much sun they're probably frying. Have you got them on a sunny window ledge or in a greenhouse Wills? If so, take the lids off and move them somewhere a little less scorchio!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi Folks Paul yes i have taken leavf off .Fairy girl they are in my spare room also in the shade i think i will take them out of the propogater and put them in a shady corner of the green house it is my first attempt at taking cuttings and had read that bottom heat was good for them hence there in the propogater
