How to prune rose grape

After flowering, typically late spring to summer. Clip off spent flower panicles at their base. If stems have grown too long, shorten by no more than one-third, cutting cleanly above a leaf node with sterilised pruners. Do not prune into old, bare wood.

As needed after flowering; once per year at most. Rose grape needs only light grooming. Remove spent flower panicles once blooms drop, cutting back to a healthy leaf or node. Shorten any overly long or crossing stems after blooming to maintain a tidy shape. Medinilla is slow-growing and does not need or tolerate heavy pruning — less is more with this plant.
