In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Unfortunately this plant was lost when a garage was built and it had to be moved. An unfortunate loss as it was a very unique and beautiful plant. Hopefully I may be able to create another plant similar to this one.

First planted in the ground: July 2016

Sets many open pollinated hips
