A medium sized deciduous shrub with reddish almost thornless stems. The attractive leaves have a greyish burgundy tinge. The single flowers are pink and give rise to the ovoid dark red hips. Remove some older stems down to soil level in the late autumn or spring to rejuvenate. This shrub makes a good backdrop to any border, especially herbaceous. It arches gracefully, if allowed to making an elegant shape. Carefree and easy
