Description

Kerria japonica Picta, also known as the Japanese rose, is a small bush that will brighten up your garden with its variegated foliage and lemon-yellow flowering. Particularly hardy and extremely floriferous, it is covered with a myriad of lemon-yellow pompoms from the arrival of spring.

 

The Kerria japonica 'Picta' belongs to the Rosaceae family and comes from Asia (China and Japan). Its rapid and vigorous growth allows it to quickly reach its adult size, which does not exceed 1 to 1.50 meters (3 feet 4 inches to 4 feet 11 inches) in height. It thus constitutes a decorative bush of modest dimensions, which are ideal for small gardens or patios, associated as a charming flowering hedge or in a flowerbed.

 

The Japanese rose Picta is a remarkable accent plant thanks to its upright silhouette, flexible and elegant vegetation, and sparkling flowering. Its slender stems bear oval, dentate leaves of mint-green, edged with cream, measuring 3 cm (1.2 in) long. Graceful, small, single yellow flowers of about 3 to 5 cm (1.2 to 2 in) appear in April and May, and sometimes again in autumn.

Imagine a chic white and gold scene to showcase this beautiful bush. Combine flowering subjects of different sizes and shapes to dress up and provide structure to the Japanese rose, such as Golden Hornet Malus, Iceberg Rose, Choisya ternata (rounded habit), Viburnum plicatum (tabular habit), and Symphytum (spreading habit).

The Japanese rose 'Picta' is easy to cultivate and long-lived. It prefers sunny to semi-shady positions and thrives in ordinary, light, and moist soil, even though it can withstand drought.

We recommend pruning it after flowering (April-May), especially its old branches, to promote its flowering and maintain a compact habit.
