Christine Animal Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In a friend's garden there is a beautiful bush covered in little yellow fluffy flowers climbing up and overhanging against an outbuilding.I've searched for a photo on the net and am pretty sure this is it.from this site, but no name mentioned http://www.lakeeffectliving.com/Apr11/Calendar.htmlAny of you keen gardeners (Russethouse ?) know what it is called?

Christine Animal Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 No, it's named after William Kerr from Kew Gardens who introduced it from China and the "anglophones" call it Japanese Rose. I know all about it now, thanks to Hoddy. [;-)]http://nature.jardin.free.fr/arbuste/nm.corete.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
