The Rose Sensation False Hydrangea Vine by Proven Winners ColorChoice is not actually a true hydrangea. These are a species native to Asia and the Himalayas regions that have elegant and distinctive large deeper pink sepals in June and July. The flowers are very similar to lacecap hydrangeas. Another name for this plant is Japanese hydrangea vine.
The false hydrangea vine is a unique plant that is great in a woodland setting or grown up a East or North facing wall. The plant will produce more blooms if it gets some filtered sunlight though. These vines can grow up to 40 to 50 feet tall and 6 feet wide. However, you can train these to not grow that tall if you like. Be sure to prune in late winter if you do trim this back. These are winter hardy to zones 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b.
In warmer climates, this plant does better than the Flirty Girl False Hydrangea-Vine. However, the warmer the climate, the more shade the plant will need, especially in the afternoons.

Old Wood
?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
