Yes. Or try aerial layering - tricker than normal layering, but no
more so than cuttings.

Many or most upright shrubs (and many trees) will layer readily if
their young branches are in contact with soil - but, of course, it
rarely happens unless they fall over! Some are bendable, but others
are not.
