From Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service:
Take cuttings ...at least 6 inches long...from wood that is not in flower. You can use rooting hormone powder to give it a boost. Remove the bottom leaves. "Stick the cuttings in a sand/peat mix (50/50) that you can keep moist. The cuttings should be kept away from direct sunlight. Mist several times a day to keep the cuttings hydrated. They should set roots in six weeks or less. If the cuttings wilt, then wait until the plants go dormant this fall and then take the cuttings sometime before they leaf out the following spring."

Make a small slit with a spade, fill with sharp sand and put the cuttings in 2 ins apart, leave them over the winter
