Have a spot that needs brightening?... in spring the leaves of this 6-8' fountain-like shrub are a brilliant gold, changing to lime-green in summer in winter its white arching (with some thorns) branches are the show. S-PSh

(GHOST BRAMBLE) During the growing season, the amazingly thorny, arching canes are pretty dressed in sun drenched golden foliage, but the real show starts when the leaves fall and the cranberry colored stems become covered in white powder and GLOW ghostly silver (with the slightest hint of pink from the red stems underneath) …really dramatic with a dark backdrop! Cut to the ground each spring to keep a manageable size (ours is 4’ tall and 6’ wide). Part shade, most soils, deer proof! Place where you will see it in WINTER
