Kerria japonica 'Golden Guinea'
Japanese rose
This upright deciduous, spreading shrub produces a mass of large, single, buttercup-like golden yellow flowers on graceful arching stems in March and April. Ideal for brightening a shrub border or woodland edge, it copes well in full sun and partial shade and tolerates extremely poor soils.

Prune in late spring after flowering, removing one in three stems to ground level. Cut back the remaining flowered stems to different levels to encourage flowering shoots at different heights and remove any suckering stems. Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch around the base of the plant.
