I am trying to find a plant/shrub that will climb a 5' foot fence but be
able to keep it under general control. I have decided that I want dark
red ie. crimson flowers in the spring to offset the colours around it
and wondered about a Chaenomeles Japonica 'Crimson and Gold'. I wondered
if anyone had one and could verify that the flowers are indeed crimson -
not red/tomato red/scarlet etc. I have been caught out like this before
and bought plants which are not truly the colour I was after as printing
techniques do not always accurately show the colour. Thanks anyone

Why don't you just use a Climbing rose if you have the Sunshine for
it.
You can get just the right shade if you buy in the Late Spring when
the Stores have 2 or 3 blooms on each plant.That's what I would do.
Crimson is weird in that you have to see it to believe it and the rose
in crimson is absolutely Stunningly Beautiful! It wll definitely cover
that wall too!
