watering
Pride of Rochester deutzia requires regular watering in order to thrive. It is best to water this type of plant every 2-3 days in the summer, making sure the soil remains moist but not saturated. In the winter, watering should be done every 5-7 days, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Make sure not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. The soil should be monitored and inspected to ensure the proper moisture levels.
sunlight
Pride of Rochester deutzia (Deutzia scabra 'Pride of Rochester') should be positioned in full sun for optimal growth. This plant does best when it is able to receive 6 or more hours of direct sunlight each day for best bloom and overall health. If your deutzia is in a spot that gets less than 6 hours of sun, you may notice the blooms are fewer in number and showier. Placing the deutzia in a spot that gets more morning and afternoon sun will improve its performance.
pruning
Pride of Rochester deutzia should be pruned each spring, shortly after blooming. To encourage more flowering, prune the plant to maintain an overall bushy shape, removing dead and damaged wood and any out-of-shape growths. Cut branches back to within 2 to 4 buds of their origin, and make sure to cut just above a healthy bud. Avoid pruning too much, as the plant's growth can quickly slow down if the amount pruned is more than 1-third of the total canopy.
