Care Guide

Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Provide a strong support structure. Train canes horizontally for maximum bloom production. Prune after main flush — remove spent canes, tie new ones. Fertilize monthly during growing season. Water at base to prevent black spot. Spray preventatively for fungal disease in humid climates.
