Golden Guinea Kerria - 4" pot - Kerria japonica

Japanese kerria (also known as Japanese rose) is a tough-but-graceful, spring-flowering, deciduous shrub that is native to certain mountainous areas of China and Japan. It typically grows to 3-6’ tall and to 6-8’ wide on slender, arching, yellowish-green stems that remain an attractive green in winter. Single, five-petaled, rose-like, yellow flowers (to 1 1/2” diameter) bloom somewhat profusely in spring. Double-toothed, narrow, ovate-lanceolate, bright green leaves (to 4” long) turn yellow in fall. ‘Golden Guinea’ is a single-flowered cultivar that is noted for its large, five-petaled, yellow flowers (to 2 1/2” diameter) and its heavily veined leaves. Each flower presumably resembles the color and size of the guinea coin, hence the cultivar name. It typically grows taller (to 6-8’) than the species. Plants in the genus Kerria are sometimes also commonly called Easter rose because the flowers typically bloom around Easter time. Measurements are approximate
