Shrubs
A large, very vigorous, hardy and dense deciduous shrub with dark green foliage, thorny arching stems and unusual and attractive pom-pom shaped double pink flowers, appearing from mid to late summer. Plant in a container plunged into a border to restrict the size if you wish to keep it more compact. Ideal for planting in a hedge to fill in any gaps or training up a wall or trellis or left to scramble through other trees and shrubs but it can become a nuisance if not kept in check. Loved by butterflies and other pollinators
