Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Propagating a Camelia from new growth shoots, 1 by Gitagal

I have a beautiful, double red, prerennial Camelia that just has dazzled me for the last two years. This Spring it was covered in blooms! Now the blooms have shed and the new growth is going in all directions. I feel I need to "shape" the bush a bit.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to root a semi-hardened- off new-growth cutting of a Camelia?
Maybe the old "jar over the pot" technique? Any chance it will make it? Mine is SOOOO beautiful! I'd love to propagate it from the trimmings when I "shape" the bush and then I could share it with some friends.

If anyone has had any luck with this, please share your method, the soil and the technique you used.
I attach some pictures of my Camelia for you to drool over! I bought it at my HD about 5 years ago.

Thanks, Gita
