The flowers are smallish & as brilliant a red as Hino Crimson, or a slightly flatter brick red. Even the buds are bright red in early & mid-April, as seen in the second photograph. The bush is in full flower mid to late April & early May. The flowers open slowly, but when it reaches its height of bloom, it can be so flowery the limbs & small bright green leaves nearly disappear behind the wall of red. |
