You need to take cuttings from vigorous growth in summer. Take 4 or 5 inch cuttings and use hormone rooting powder. Put them in a pot of leafmould and compost mix and then in a propagator with botttom heat. This heat is the secret! They should root in a few weeks, but wait until they have good roots before potting on.

Not easy - leaf or bud cuttings in summer, but the easiest is probably hardwood cuttings in autumn. Unless it's a variety of C. reticulata, when it can be layered, but most these days are varieties of C. williamsii because they're hardier.
