This provocative shrub from China and the Himalayas is winged with large, ornamental, translucent crimson thorns the entire length of the stem. It's brighter, bigger, and more thorny if pruned, but it might lose its natural vase shape - your choice. Lightly fragrant single white flowers to 2 inches across are lovely in late spring amongst ferny foliage, and beautiful red hips follow the blooms in fall. Yes, grown for the visually exciting thorns (Morticia Adams would love it!) but a good barrier plant, too. If you can site it where it will be backlit by the setting sun, all the better. Young plants can take a bit to develop the "lovely" thorns. 

Mature size: 6 – 8 feet tall if left unchecked.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
