Chaenomeles speciosa 'Pink Storm' (PBR)
flowering quince
Impressively large, reddish-pink semi-double flowers, which look more like a camellia than a quince, clothe the thornless stems of this deciduous shrub in spring. Once the plant is established and has put on some growth, these stems can be cut and placed in a vase inside the house. Relatively tough and easy to grow, it can be trained as a wall shrub where there is limited space.
How to care for Chaenomeles speciosa Pink Storm (PBR):
After flowering prune side shoots to five or six leaves and remove crossing or ill-placed stems. Once established remove excess growth in late spring or summer and cut back all side shoots to two or three leaves.
