Propagating rose of sharon bush and a butterfly bush....?

I am interested in propagating them and wondered what is the best way to do that? The butterfly bush is a beautiful dark purple bush that is about 8 feet tall and way too wide where I have it. It is about 5 years old. I thought maybe I could take some cuttings and plant it elsewhere. Can anyone give me good advice on what to do with these beautiful bushes?

You need to take a cutting of new growth off of the butterfly bush and stick it in slightly moist potting soil and it should root within a week or two. I've tried it myself and it works. The same would probably work for the rose of sharon too.
