propogating crab apples

Thank you to everyone who responded to my query with respect to Californian lilacs. Every time I pass the ones growing near my house the scent of heavy honey is almost over powering. They are blooming to perfection in this southern hemisphere spring. I hope that I can succesfully propagate them as there are varying types in what remains of my garden, and they do seem to do so well here.
 
Another plant that has survived, even thrived, on the neglect I have thrown it ,is a crab apple I bought as a "Japanese Crab Apple". I was wondering if anyone has had any experience growing these from cuttings, in particular are there problems with roots not being adequate, long term, in cutting grown plants? I don't think I am up to grafting.
