The most popular pink ornamental shrubs
All pink ornamental shrubs can be divided into two: large groups. the first is the most popular crops known to all gardeners. The second is less common species.
Chaenomeles, or Japanese quince (Chaenomeles) is a beautiful flowering ornamental shrub with pink flowers from the Rosaceae family. Do not confuse Japanese quince with ordinary quince; these are different plants, although the fruits of Chaenomeles have a similar shape, are edible and healthy.
There are four species of this plant, distributed mainly in China and Japan. Based on them, many garden hybrids and varieties have been bred.
- 1. Japanese chaenomeles (Chaenomeles japonica) is a shrub up to 3 meters in height with large orange-red flowers collected in corymbose inflorescences of 2-6 pieces. Blooms in May before the leaves appear. The fruits, which ripen by October, are about 6 cm in diameter.
- 2. Chaenomeles maulei is also called low Japanese quince. The height of this shrub with pink flowers usually does not exceed one meter. In gardening, the most common hybrids are between Japanese quince and low Japanese quince.
- 3. Beautiful Chaenomeles (Chaenomeles speciosa) - bush height is about 70-100 cm. The plant does not bear fruit and does not tolerate winters in the middle zone quite well.
- 4. Chaenomeles cathayensis - the height of the bush is up to 3 meters, in the middle zone it is usually about 1.5 meters. In severe winters it can freeze quite strongly.
Chaenomeles is used in the garden both as an ornamental and fruit crop. Shrubs blooming with pink flowers are used to create low hedges and borders, planted in rock gardens, near ponds and on the lawn, alone or in company with other ornamental shrubs: mahonia, forsythia, weigela, spirea, heather. Chaenomeles is also used to strengthen slopes. Plants grafted onto a standard look amazing (ordinary rowan, wild pear or shadberry are usually used as a rootstock). You can also graft apple trees, pears, garden rowan or hawthorn onto chaenomeles itself. Fans of experiments can enhance decorative effect by grafting several breeds onto one plant.
To obtain fruits, it is necessary to plant 2-3 varieties of chaenomeles on the site. The fruits of the plant are sour and very aromatic, for which they received the name “northern lemon”. They are rich in vitamin C, pectin and microelements. Candied fruits, jam, jam, compotes, liqueurs, etc. are prepared from them. 
Magnolia
Although magnolia is considered a shrub with pink flowers, in the wild it reaches a tree up to 30 m high. The leaves of the bush are dark green and have an elliptical shape. The flowers are often pink when opened and reach a diameter of 15 cm and have a fragrant aroma.
Magnolia blooms on the sea coast throughout the warm season. After flowering, a fruit with large seeds is formed, resembling a pine cone in appearance. The bark of a tree has grey colour, smooth and sometimes scaly to the touch.
There are species that live a little further north than is commonly believed. Therefore, garden centers began selling this plant. Unfortunately, it does not take root well in central Russia, since the climatic conditions of this region are not at all suitable for it.
Those gardeners who take the risk of planting star magnolia or lily-flowered magnolia insulate it for the winter. Since frosts can damage the delicate buds of this southern plant.
There are universally popular plant introduction centers with many different varieties:
- 1.Royal Botanical Garden Kew (England) - has 40 species.

In the middle zone, only a few types of hibiscus are grown. Among them is the Syrian hibiscus. If this shrub with pink flowers is covered for the winter or wintered in the basement, the flower will take root and will delight with lush flowering even in regions with cold winters.
China is considered the birthplace of the Syrian hibiscus. In its natural environment, the size of the plant reaches 5-6 meters. As a rule, deciduous shrubs are grown in the garden, reaching a height of 1.5 meters. It has bright green ovate leaves and single flowers of various colors. The plant can also be grown as a standard tree.
Garden hibiscus is an unpretentious plant. The owners will not have any special troubles with it. It's easy to care for. When new green shoots appear, cut off old, dried stems. Hibiscus does not tolerate weeds in the neighborhood. It is necessary to ensure that the bush does not thicken and regularly pull out weeds.

Trilobed almond
In the first half of May, the three-lobed almond tree (Louisiania) blooms and, it seems, there is nothing more beautiful than this white-pink and sweet-smelling cloud. An ornamental shrub with pink flowers picks up the baton of flowering from sunny forsythia and early species of rhododendrons, dressing the garden waking up after winter in a spectacular bridal outfit for several weeks.
The quintessence of beauty is grace, tenderness, trembling defenselessness.
There is no doubt that Louiseania triloba belongs to the Rosaceae family, but there is no such clarity regarding the generic affiliation of the shrub. Beginning in the mid-19th century, when the plant came from China to Europe, botanists revised its name and pedigree several times. Thus, several synonymous terms appeared in the taxonomy.
The three-lobed plum plant was named for the shape of its leaf - in the upper part it is divided into three lobes. There are several other characteristics common to the plum genus - a short peduncle, rich color of the fruit.
The shrub shares with the three-lobed almond a large single flower and fruits with a thin layer of amniotic pulp that dries when ripe.
Belonging to the Louiseania genus is determined by pubescent shoots and a spherical drupe covered with a bizarre relief pattern.
Externally, it is a shrub with pink flowers and a spreading crown, growing up to 2.5–3 m, or a miniature tree if the crop is grown on a rootstock. The plant blooms before the leaves bloom, on the shoots of last year. The flowers are double, with a diameter of 1 to 3.5 cm. Almonds amaze not only with the density of flowering, but also with the variety of the palette - from flesh and soft pink shades to bright crimson.
In China and Europe, the standard Louiseania crop is popular - it is an elegant shrub with pink flowers and a spherical crown consisting of radially protruding young shoots. Immediately after flowering, the plant is cut into a hedgehog, giving it the opportunity to grow young shoots and lay flower buds.
In everyday life, Louiseania triloba is sometimes called Siberian sakura. The plant does not have common ancestors with the cherry; here the comparison has rather a philosophical overtone - its bright but short-lived beauty symbolizes, like Japanese sakura, the transience of life, every moment of which must be lived to the fullest.
A flowering bush is the personification of awakening nature and spring mood.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the first breeder of Louiseania to obtain new ornamental varieties was an amateur gardener from Western Ukraine V. Batochenko. Experimenting with grafting and artificial pollination, he developed about a dozen new cultivars. They complemented the existing assortment, enhancing the decorative effect of the shrub and expanding its color range. Without regard to frosty winters, we can safely recommend the following varieties.
Plena is the oldest decorative form of three-lobed almond with large double flowers reaching 3.5–4 cm in diameter. It blooms simultaneously with the appearance of leaves, forms a lush branched bush up to 2 m high. The plant is considered sterile, since the fruits fall off after flowering before mature.
Louiseania Kyiv is an old variety that has become the genetic basis for many decorative forms. It blooms earlier than Plena, the flowers are large, the color is more saturated and bright.
Deserves attention standard variety Stonefly. In addition to its high decorative qualities, it is also resistant to most diseases, especially monolithic burn, which often affects shrubs.
Almond three-lobed Rosenmund - characterized by a long flowering period (more than 3 weeks), compact size and large double flowers of pure pink color.
Louiseania Crimson is striking in its unusual coloring. During flowering, the straight shoots of a low, spreading bush are literally covered with crimson flowers.
The Chinese hybrid is more similar to sakura than others, as it was obtained by grafting onto felt cherry. The flowers are not as gorgeous as those of the double varieties, but they bloom longer and more profusely. 
The Tanyusha variety is distinguished by early flowering and special decorativeness. Each flower is a large double corolla, consisting of 30–40 slightly curled pink petals.
