Signs of Cold Stress in Franchet's cotoneaster
Symptoms
Franchet's cotoneaster tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 50℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 32℉. If temperatures drop below 20℉, while immediate winter damage might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
During spring, remove any branches that have died and failed to sprout new foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Franchet's cotoneaster should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried out. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
