Propagation

Root cuttings taken during the growing period.

General information
Spring flowering species require little or no pruning as the flowers appear on the previous season`s growth.

Autumn flowering species may be cut back hard during spring if required. When planting, position the strongest leader towards the wall and remove any weak or damaged stems. Maintain the root ball at the existing soil level and mulch with garden compost or rotted manure. Keep moist but not wet during the establishment period.
