watering
Deutzia hybrida 'Mont Rose' should be watered regularly during the growing season (spring/summer). Water deeply and thoroughly when the top inch or 2 of soil is dry to the touch. Soak the root ball allowing it to drain afterwards, then wait until the soil has dried out before watering the plant again. During the winter months, it is best to reduce the amount of watering to give the plant a slight reduction in moisture. During extremely dry periods, you can give it supplemental watering. Generally during the winter, it should not be watered more than once every 2-3 weeks.
sunlight
Deutzia hybrida 'Mont Rose' is a deciduous shrub that thrives in full sun. It should be planted in an area that receives full sun for at least 6 hours each day during the growing season — late spring through mid-summer — for optimal growth and flowering. During the hottest months of the growing season, you can provide some afternoon shade to protect the foliage, but full sun is ideal.
pruning
Deutzia hybrida 'Mont Rose' should be pruned in late winter or very early spring, just before it begins to flower. Pruning should be minimal, with only 1/3 of the oldest branches and stems removed. This type of plant will benefit from the occasional light shaping or size maintenance during the growing season. Dead and diseased limbs should be removed at any time.
