I actully cut a branch from one of my rose and put in a plastic and now it has leaves. I was told by a friend since it doesn't have strong roots/ not winter hardy enough, it will die in winter here in Boston area. Is it possible to save it? maybe I keep inside the house in winter? etc?

I googled and some one has article which suggest keep the plants in basement and water it once a week. will that kill the plantsince it has no t enough light? does that means I can never bring out to outside for any winter cause the root is not winter hardy. I heard They don't make winter hardy rose from cutting.

It's very easy. Plant it outside now while the weather is still warm up there. Put a large clear glass container over it when the weather gets cold ~ halloween or so. Remove the cover when the weather breaks ~ st patricks day or so.
Mayonaise jars were the favorite cover for generations.

You can. You will have to be very diligent about keeping the soil moist and give it as much bright light as possible. The only problem is that you have a very long winter so you may have to get some sort of grow light to put it under unless you have a window that gets 6 or more hours of bright sunlight. It's definitely worth a try.
Good luck
