A sight to see in spring when it is ablaze with gorgeous double deep-rose-colored flowers, this 15-20' thorny tree has glossy-green, rounded 3-5 lobed leaves which turn gold in the fall. In autumn, bright red-berries appear that persist into winter giving it great multi-season interest. This is a most beautiful and undemanding tree that makes a wonderful specimen. S/M
