You can take softwood cuttings from the soft shoots. You need to take a cutting of softwood (the bendy bit, not from a woody plant, which should be easy with new smaller plants), around 3 or 4 inches. Then strip the leaves off the bottom part, about a good two thirds to the top. Then plop the cutting in some compost mixed with a fair amount of vermiculite or sharp sand, as rosemary likes free draining soil that's not too rich.
Hopefully it should just take care of itself. I'm trialing some rosemary and lavender cuttings in this way, and so far, so good!
Good luck
