Cut back her longer shoots after the flowering period (end of summer). This will encourage even better growth the following year.
Jazz doesn't like cold winds so keep her away from exposed balconies and north-facing walls.
She likes to bathe in warm sunshine so she's great for west- or south-facing walls. Jazz can also thrive on an east-facing wall.

Though she'd prefer to sprawl out in the sun all day, Jazz can easily adjust to tolerate partial or full shade, and can withstand cold better than other types of jasmine.
She's a climber, and left to her own devices will easily cover railings, walls, or the ground under her. You can cut her down all the way to the ground if she's getting too wild.
Fertilise her before she blooms in early spring - if she's getting too big for her pot, this is also a good time to transfer her to a larger one.
If you're keeping her in a pot, she'll need some extra nutrients to keep her growing - give her some fertiliser twice a year in this case.
Hailing from the Far East, Jasmine is an absolute star. Almost literally - she's known as Star Jasmine. She's a great entry-level climbing plant as she's evergreen, self-twines and produces irresistible, sweet-smelling flowers.
