Lynn, in late winter you can take cuttings from one year old wood and plant 
them 2/3 down in potting soil and about half of them will root and grow into 
new plants.  Likewise you can heap dirt or compost around a mature plant and 
the various stems will set on roots where they are covered with soil.  Cut 
the stem lose and transplant it.
