I cut it back in the winter (some years, it dies back on its own) because the huge, arching branches of blooms can get quite tall.

The leaves would become skeletonized, I'd spray them with Neem Oil and just a few days later, they would be infested again. I couldn't get the problem under control to save my life. Hoping next season will be easier.
