Mocha, I haven't had any luck rooting the hardy Hibiscus in water, but I have been successful propagating my Hibiscus from cuttings by using the following method. I have never tried rooting a tropical Hibiscus. What type do you have?

I use a clean Exacto Knife to cut off approximately 10" of the new growth, about 1/2" below a set of leaves. I take off all the leaves at the bottom of the cutting, but I always leave a couple sets of leaves at the top. Then I stick the bottom part of the cutting in Clonex Rooting Compound (or you can use any rooting hormone) and put it some potting soil. I make sure at least two of the sets of leaves I cut off are covered by the soil. I keep the soil moist, but not soaked, and then make sure it doesn't get any direct sunlight until after I see some new leaves sprouting.

Teresa, did you propagate the Tropical Hibiscus or the Hardy Hibiscus in water? Once I did try to root an orange Tropical Hibiscus and I was successful in getting it to root in water without it rotting, but I've never had the same success trying to root my Hardy Hibiscus in water. It seems they always rotted before they developed any roots!
