Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A beautiful, wild shrub native to the open slopes and scrub of central China with gracefully arching 6-9' branches and small, dainty almost fern-like leaves, the semi-double flowers are a soft golden yellow with a mild-spicy-sweet fragrance, they bloom densely for several weeks in late-spring and sometimes have a small bloom set again in the fall; attractive bright-red rose hips follow and they persist in to winter; pretty planted in groups or as a specimen.
