Pruning

Pruning

1. Thin the bush about a month before the last predicted frost to remove dead, old, or weak canes or canes that cross through the center (shown in red) to give the plant an open, vaselike shape.

2. Cut remaining canes by less than one-third. Cut at a 45° angle, just above outward-facing buds.
