I have Joseph and he reblooms nice for me. This was last years picture and he is in his second year.. This year he has blackspot so hope I can get that under control as the last two years he did not have it..

Wow, that is gorgeous!!! I hope mine keeps going to look like that!! How do you trim the dead blooms off? I don't want to cut it and then find out that it won't rebloom because I did it wrong. Also how do you attach the picture like that???

Just cut the spent blooms off and trim the cane back to a leaflet with five leaves facing outwards. Note if you do nothing at all it will likely still rebloom, just not the way you might have planned for. Even if you cut it back to the ground it will rebloom, but it will take 2 months for the new canes to grow. We live in a similar climate weather wise. A Jacob's Coat at a local retail business is located on the end of their building. It receives no care whatso ever and blooms in late February on buds grown during the previous fall growth spurt.
