Red Flowering Quince To prune, remove only crossing, diseased or broken branches. Flowering quince should never be sheared. Cut branches with swollen flower buds may be forced indoors, making a welcomed winter flower arrangement. The oblong, serrated foliage opens bronze red and fades to a glossy dark green. The single or double rose like flowers emerge in clusters of 2–4, often before leaves develop.
