Prick out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle and grow on in a cold frame. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring of the following year.

Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame[4]. Tip layering in July. Plant out in autumn.

Division in early spring or just before leaf-fall in the autumn[4].

Plants are not fully hardy in all parts of the country[7]. A scrambling climbing plant, supporting itself by means of hooked prickles[8]. Any pruning is best carried out in spring and consists of cutting out some of the old and dead growth from the base[7]. Plants produce numerous new shoots from their base each year, these shoots generally flowering and fruiting in their second year[7].

Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[4].
