🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water deeply when the top few centimetres of soil dry out, keeping water off the foliage.
Fertilizer
Feed 3-4 times through the season, starting as growth begins and again at bud and bloom stage.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring: remove old, dead and crossing canes, then cut the remaining canes back by about a third in mild climates. Benefits from harder pruning in cold areas.
Pests & Diseases
Watch for aphids; black spot and powdery mildew resistance is average, so keep the bush well ventilated.
