Planting guide

Plant in a sunny spot with space to sprawl or climb. Enrich soil with compost at planting. Provide strong support for its long, arching canes and tie in shoots as they develop.

Care tips

Low-maintenance: prune only to remove dead growth or control spread. Water during dry periods until established. Tie in flexible stems to guides or supports.

Winter care

Minimal pruning required; remove any dead or weak stems in late winter. Train stems horizontally to encourage flowering. Apply mulch to protect roots and suppress weeds.
