The First Shrub to Bloom Each Year in Late Winter!
Flowering quince is in bloom! It is one of my favorite shrubs. The scientific name is Chaenomeles japonica. Flowers are various shades of red, pink and white. It will grow in sun or shade but blooms better when planted in full sun.It is the first shrub to bloom each year.
I like to use this plant in cutting gardens or planted with an evergreen backdrop because it is deciduous. Flowering quince looks especially beautiful when cuttings are incorporated in an early spring indoor arrangement!~Shelly

This is one of my favorite shrubs and I suggest the planting for the longevity of color. The blooms will bring the colors of spring in a much needed drably season not to mention the fragrance is nice.

What could be ugly about a shrub with such beautiful flowers? The plant itself, for one. For most of the year, flowering quince is a crowded mass of thin, thorny branches with plain bark. And the suckers that come up all around the main plant aren’t very appealing either. Most gardeners would consider the thorns to be ugly as well (they are very sharp!). The fruit is roundish and yellow and rather unattractive-not suitable for display with other fruit.
