I started some in Jul or early Aug from cuttings and they rooted very well. Put them in light potting soil with a baggie over them to keep the humidity in. They didn't take long to root.

just make sure the cutting isn't too soft.
Most of my problems with rooting them was that the shoot was too young, let it shoot out and harden a bit before cutting.

Please check out the "Frequently Asked Questions" Forum at DG. It is filled with LOTS of valuable information and great advice. This is what I found on various types of propagation. http://davesgarden.com/t/367693/
