  • Description

  • Notes

The 'Roseum' is a large, deciduous shrub with leaves that are 2"-4" long and as wide, and are maple-like in shape. Large, "snowball" clusters of white flowers bloom in the spring. The foliage turns to pleasing shades of red and orange. Growth should occur under conditions of full sun.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
