A beautiful arching deciduous shrub with pleasant green foliage. Fragrant sweet smelling pale pink flowers are produced in early summer, followed by orange-red hips in autumn. Grow ing Conditions: Grows best in moderately fertile, humus-rich soil, that's moist but well-drained. Position in full sun. Value To Wildlife: Flowers are an important nectar source for insects and bees, whilst its fruits are a food for birds such as blackbirds, redwings and waxwings. Important Note: You’ll receive a 2 year old well established whip that's between 20 to 60cm in height. This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.
