The common name is guelder rose and it's generally regarded as a British native. It's a quite large shrub or small shrubby tree that has 'lacecap' white flowers in Spring, followed by bunches of berries that turn a lovely shade of sealing-wax red by late summer. Those can make a fine display into autumn - if the blackbirds don't polish them all off before they get that far (they love 'em). The leaves give autumn colour too, turning bronze and an attractive wine-red. I think it's a lovely shrub that more than earns its keep through the seasons. -- Sue |
