how to start a rhododendron

Marysville, OH(Zone 5b)

I have a beautiful rhododendron bush. It seems like it likes to spread though - right through my "pet cemetary" (perhaps it likes ashes?). Looks like where the branches touch the ground it wants to start a new bush. So I have a new gardener coming over tomorrow because I'm thinning my hostas and daylilies and I told her she could try to get a start off of my rhodi bush. But of course neither of us know what we are doing. Does anyone know where I'd cut it, and how she'd root it?
