HELP branch broke off from snow, can I root this somehow?

Warren, OH(Zone 5b)

I have only successfully rooted a forcythia cutting so far, but this branch broke off when the snow fell on it. Can I cut it and make starts from it? Any help to do this would be so appriciated. Where do I make the cuts, do I use Rootone? Put the starts in baggies? I have read and read but there are so many opinions that I would like some help from those that have done this. I am so sad,, this is such a pretty bush.
Thank you, Kathy
