Chaenomeles japonica

My favourite winter colour shrub is going to be the star of the garden for a while! #wintercolour

So lovely! ❤️

Gorgeous, I looked at mine today and it's not looking too good 😧

Very pretty...mine is nowhere near that😒

That’s a really red one -🌺

Brilliant red colour Val 👌🏼

Gorgeous ❤️

I think it’s an early flowerer Elaine, it’s actually later this year than last! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Did you prune it at all Jane @pelly?

Thanks @dan5584 @richard.spicer.7906 @juliesgarden @sharonhayden it’s a fabulous red!

No it was new last March. I’ve looked back to when I bought it and it was in flower then so hopefully there’s time yet 🤔👍

Ah Jane, mine was slow after planting. Think it’s been in for 5 years and I think it only really took of properly last year - and then it was with a vengeance. Flowered like mad for months! @elly

Look who’s back. Winter colour on its way #japanesequince #chaenomeles

Wow that’s a lot further on than mine Val....

I will have a look at mine today 😍

I must go and check mine 😀

It always takes me by surprise Elaine & Sue @suerichards @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

The #japanesequince has got to be my #bestwinter2018 so far. It’s never been better, it’s flowering abundantly and there’s a mass of buds still to come #chaenomeles #wintercolour

That’s beautiful Val 💚❤️

Love the color ♥️

So beautiful! ♥️

Very rich colour Val 👌🏼😍

Beautiful. Would you like us to add this to our email newsletter? 😁

I’d be honoured @ukgardentags Thanks!

The Japanese Qince is playing the staring role in the garden right now. This is it’s best year since I planted it. #chaenomeles #japanesequince #wintercolour

Lovely 😍

Oh it’s gorgeous Val! 😍❤️❤️

Love these! So many pretty flowers! 😍

Looks beautiful in bloom Val 👌🏼

Japanese quince all set to do it’s thing all winter long. Covered in buds but so unapproachable! #chaenomeles #japanesequince #wintercolour

Oh I don’t think mine’s like that.....🤔❤️

Quick check, things change so quickly out there!

Chaenomeles has been brilliant all winter, through rain, snow and icy winds highly recommended winter flowering shrub #rubytuesday #chaenomeles #japanesequince

Completely agree Val. And if you get fruit as well in the autumn, even better 😍

I keep looking at these, I think you’re right, wish list here we come 😍😍

Don’t think it will disappoint Jane. Not showy but a lovely pop of colour for a long time!

Lovely ❤️

Haven’t had any fruit as yet @awomanonabike, its been in3 years I think so don’t know if it’s going to happen.

Lovely ❤️

Lovely Shot

Oh I do hope so. I’m afraid mine was in the garden when I moved in so I don’t know how old they have to be before they fruit. Hopefully 3 years 😉😂

Chaenomeles Not the best photo but the thorns are a bit of an obstacle to getting up close! #wintercolour #chaenomeles
