Propagation of Rhododendron the most reliable method is layering branches in summer, but it is usually better to buy newer plants.
To layer, a flexible stem is pegged into the ground and left attached to the parent plant until roots have formed at the base of the layered shoot. This takes about 6 to 12 months.
How do you take cuttings of rhododendron bushes?
What Barrie said. It's usually easier to just buy new plants, but this method will work if you want a new start off that particular plant for some reason--Grandma's favorite, for example, or if you just can't find the variety anymore. (I know how it is... I have several 'extinct' varieties in my posesssion.)
