Planting guide

Choose a warm, sunny wall or strong support. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Train shoots horizontally to promote flowering. Water well during dry periods and apply mulch annually.

Care tips

Prune in late summer and again in winter to shape and encourage flowering. Tie in new shoots as needed. Feed in spring with high-potash fertiliser.

Winter care

Fully hardy. Prune twice yearly — summer pruning after flowering to control growth, and winter pruning to shape and encourage flowering spurs.
