Layering Tree Peony - Experience anyone?

This spring a sucker finally flowered - a pure white flower amid the pink w/purple flare flowers of 'Feng Dan'. Assuming this sucker arose from grafted root stock, I'd like to layer it and transplant to a different location, but have read that tree peonies are about the most difficult to propagate this way. However, although I don't want it to overtake the 'Feng Dan', I don't want to kill it, and it is lovely.

I've read that autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is the best time to start, and it can take 18-24 months for the new roots to form adequately for transplanting.

Anyone have any experience, advice?
