Sorry, but I can't be very much help.  I was calling out for help, also.
I've tried rooting them in Rootone in small pots in early summer and failed
miserably.  They tell me if you weight a branch down on the ground it will
take root.  This I have never tried.  

I have almost 100 azaleas. My favorite is called Rosebud and it looks just
like its name.  Dark pink, double flowers.  Really would like to propagate
that one.

Somebody out there, help!
