My ever-trusty 'Creative Propagation' by Peter Thompson says that Viburnums can be propagated by semi-mature cuttings in July and August. So in late July find some semi-mature shoots remove them and treat them as normal cuttings. (I'd put some in water, and some in sand, with and without rooting hormone, that way you have covered most of the possibilities.)

As Viburnum has glossy leaves, you shouldn't get too much loss through evaporation, but if you can put some of the cuttins in a tent of polythene, that will give you the best possibility - but watch out for fungal attack.

Good luck.
