They can be slipped and rerooted. Root them in a glass of water.

yes, you can root by slips or cuttings. You should use a root tone product. Depends upon where you live but sometimes it is best to put the cutting (s) into a baggie, making a mini greenhouse.
A lot depends upon where you live. As an example, living in Central Fl., you would not root in water and then place into the ground. If it's for a house plant that would work. Most Hibiscus rootings prefer a light soil mixutre, good humidity, lots of light but not direct sun. Once the first leaves appear, remove the baggie and place into a richer soil. Do not remove any lower leaves as they are what provides the nutrition to the plant. Once it has at least eight to ten small leaves you can move it into the area that you want it to grow in.

I always propagated Hibiscus by taking cuttings - successful every time.
