The following diseases must be considered for Rubus fruticosus 'Loch Ness'(s):
- Fruit rot: healthy variety.

Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out in the meantime.

- A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time.
- Cut back frozen shoots to the healthy wood as soon as there is no longer any risk of frost.
- Watering less frequently, but thoroughly and thoroughly, encourages the plant roots to penetrate deeper into the soil. This enables the plant to survive dry periods better.

Pruning, ideally in October, is advisable for this plant.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).

- Pruning: October
- Watering: In the period from April to September
