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.  

This seedling turned out exactly as I would have expected. While it is extremely similar to its parent, it still has a bit more elegance to it that I cannot exactly explain or put into words. I will be keeping it for now to see how it does as it matures.
