Water: Hawthorn-leaved bramble thrives in moderate climates with consistent soil moisture but should not be waterlogged. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and prefers a balance of wet and dry periods. Watering every three weeks with mulching helps retain moisture during dry spells.

Fertilize: For optimal health, hawthorn-leaved bramble requires balanced fertilizers quarterly, switching to high-nitrogen during growth phases. Use modest amounts to prevent root damage and diminished flowering. In colder months, reduce frequency. Always dilute fertilizers and ensure moist soil to avoid root burn, enhancing hawthorn-leaved bramble's vigor and resilience.

Pruning: Hawthorn-leaved bramble features unique hawthorn-like leaves and bramble characteristics. Prune in early spring to remove dead wood, thin crowded areas, and cut back to healthy buds. This practice enhances air circulation and sunlight exposure, reducing disease risk and promoting growth while maintaining the plant's size and shape.

Propagation: To propagate hawthorn-leaved bramble effectively, use healthy cuttings and maintain a clean environment with sterilized tools. Employ a well-draining, moisture-retentive medium and regularly monitor humidity and watering to enhance rooting success.
