Rhododendron cuttings?
The simplest and most foolproof way is to layer one or more of the branches.





All you have to do is take a low branch and peg it down into the soil, if you damage the branch slightly by scraping off a little of the bark at the point where it will be touching the soil then this will encourage it to make roots.





If you do not have a branch that is low enough you could place a pot filled with soil at a height to suit the plant and peg the branch into that. Just make sure that you do not allow the pot to dry out.
