🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Regularly until established; requires at least an inch of water per week during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Apply organic amendments at planting; avoid excessive nitrogen which can cause excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
Pruning
In spring, remove old canes and dead or diseased wood, and cut back crossing canes. In warmer climates, cut back remaining canes by about one-third; prune more heavily in colder areas. Avoid deep pruning during the rainy season to prevent black stem.
