http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-8702.html  recommends using
semi-hardwood
cuttings:

    "Semi-hardwood cuttings are usually prepared from partially mature wood of
    the current season’s growth, just after a flush of growth. This type of
    cutting normally is made from mid-July to early fall. The wood is reasonably
    firm and the leaves of mature size. Many broadleaf evergreen shrubs and some
    conifers are propagated by this method."

Follow the link for what to do with the cuttings.
