Red Flowering Quince
The oblong, serrated foliage opens bronze red and fades to a glossy dark green. To prune, remove only crossing, diseased or broken branches. It is very nice for a shrub border or espaliered to wall. The single or double rose like flowers emerge in clusters of 2–4, often before leaves develop. Flowering quince should never be sheared. The Red Flowering Quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is valued for its spring flowers. Cut branches with swollen flower buds may be forced indoors, making a welcomed winter flower arrangement. ... additional information
