Cultivation
A large climbing plant in its native range but it is not very hardy in Britain, succeeding outdoors only in the mildest areas of the country where it makes a small shrub[6]. Even there it is best grown against a sunny wall[7]. A plant is growing outdoors in a sheltered position in light woodland at Cambridge Botanical Gardens, it has survived at least one cold winter outdoors there[K]. This species is closely related to R. cissoides[7]. Dioecious, male and female plants must be grown if fruit and seed is required. Fruit is seldom formed in Britain[7].
Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[3].Crops
