Rubus Rubus Rubus Rubus!

Rubus Rushbrook Red Leaf

Grown mainly for the richly coloured and textured new leaves.
The red and white buds are especially striking.

This is an 'informal' rambling species best grown either as a sort of mound, allowed to scramble about among other shrubs, or trained in as a climber. Potentially quite big but by no means uncontrollable. Thanks to Barry for this one.

Rubus formosensis

Very much a ground-covering species, reminiscent of some of the more rampant types sometimes offered but much choicer in every way - especially the soft felted new growth.

Excellent in moist shade. Rather pretty nodding white flowers too. Another of Barry's gifts.

Rubus iranaeus

A lovely creeping/semi climbing species with broad fresh green reniform leaves. 

Not too vigorous here but best given space to move about.
