This study was carried out to investigate the propagation methods of the Rhododendron micranthum as a landscape plant The results obtained are as follows : 1. The optimum temperature for seed germination was $20^{\circ}C$, and the seed germination needs light. 2. GA and thiourea did not affect the seed germination under light, but GA gad substitutive effect. 3. 87% and over of germination rates were obtained in room temperature and $5^{\circ}C$ dry storages. 4. The rooting rate was high on sandy loam, vermiculite, and vermiculite 50%+sand 50%, at softwood and hardwood cutting(hardwood ; 45~48%, softwood ; 45~48%). 5. The significant effects on rooting were found with the treatment of NAA 500~2000ppm.
