    Looks like Pelargonium, one of the type referred to as scented geranium.

    Some plants will root if left in water--not sure about that one. You can always try some root hormone (available from a garden centre.) I usually root plants in a sterile medium and enclose the cutting in a plastic bag or small container to create a moist environment. It would probably be better to get a new shoot of the plant if you can, or at least make a fresh cut.

    When you root them do they fresh cold water
    Or warm ,do you need to change the water everyday or
    Never until they start to root them

    Only certain plants will actually root well in water. Water should be at room temperature. Water will become stagnant and lacking dissolved oxygen over time. Plants that successfully root in water, usually are quick, easy rooting plants or are plants that tolerate soggy roots. I am not sure, but I would expect roots on Geranium cuttings within a few weeks time.
