I find that a lot of shrubs, trees, and vines grow roots when lower limbs have mulch cover them...
When I'm rooting a tree branch, I might place a pot of soil next to the tree and place a branch on top of the soil with a brick, rock or whatever to hold limb in place...
But... usually, I just hold the branch to the ground with soil, a coat hanger, one of those staples for holding down ground cover fabric, or mulch and a rock if necessary.
Very easy. Far easier than rooting cuttings.
