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.  

First planted in the ground: July 2016

If I were to choose my top ten seedlings, this would be on that list due to its health, vigor, and blooming ability. The only health issues I have observed is a little yellowing and spotting in September on foliage that originated from the earliest Spring growth and usually only after it goes through a heat spell. Since being planted in the ground this seedling has shown great vigor throwing out several strong canes within weeks. Blooms might lack the wow factor in regards to its form, but it has a very clear pink color (especially on new blooms) with scalloped edges and the blooms are quite large. It is very rare to see this plant without at least one bloom on the plant.
