?The most beautiful leaves of any Rubus? (GS Thomas)..perhaps of any shrub?! the leaves of this 3-4' rambler are 5-parted, deeply and attractively veined, and covered with a shiny, silky down beneath; white flowers and small red>yellow flowers. S-PSh/M
This gorgeous shrub is graced with fantastic pleated palmate foliage – can you say TEXTURE?? This sculptural plant from the Himalayas grows in sun to part shade to about 5-6' and has white summer flowers followed by small, tasty red berries. Happy in most soils with a little summer moisture.
The Chinese named this "bubble plant" for its clusters of red fruit; we just call it stunning! A striking plant for the half shaded garden with pleated, evergreen leaves, silky smooth green on top with silvery undersides, on arching stems to 6-10 ft tall. Lovely on a high bank where the silvery undersides can be seen mixing with the green. White flowers become red, raspberry-like fruits - but it's about the foliage! Very resilient. Enjoys some summer water. Cold hardy in USDA zones 7.
Blackberries can be scary but with this China doll it will be shivers of delight instead of fear. Fantastic foliage plant. Great leaves on 6'-8' somewhat arching and branched canes. This is a vigorous clumper and not a vine so is easy to keep in bounds. No thorns. White flowers.
