Double Japanese Rose, or Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' is a popular landscape specimen because of it flowers at a very young age, is fast to establish, and is deer resistant. Stems bloom very heavily in the spring before the leaves emerge, much like Forsythia but the flowers are pom-pom like and more attractive than Forsythia flowers. Plus, flowers will be produced throughout the entire growing season on the tips of new growth all the way until frost, making this one of the longest blooming shrubs available. Plants are quite cold hardy and will often still grow in protected areas in zone 3. If plants freeze back to the ground, they will sprout back from the roots and still bloom that season. Best propagated in winter as hardwood cuttings of new growth, or under mist using softwood cuttings in June. Plants are best pruned back in late spring or early summer. Flower buds for next spring develop starting in summer and persist until they bloom the following spring, so you want to prune early enough in summer that you don't reduce flowering. You can prune your plant all the way to the ground every few years, or just prune lightly to maintain a specific shape.
