"Now is a great time to propagate your shrubs by layering, especially before you trim off the bottom branches of your shrubs.  The following articles present several techniques - I'm pretty lazy so I just do simple layering, holding down the branch with a brick.

The following articles provide more information:

bulletFrom Landscape Juice "How to layer shrubs for easy propagation"
bulletAnd from HGTV "Layering Shrubs"

Done now, by the fall or next spring, you should have several new shrubs."
