A hardy shrub that offers a beautiful display throughout the year. This variety has fewer thorns on its stems, making it more manageable. Its dark foliage serves as a striking backdrop for the corymbs of white blooms in the spring, followed by vibrant scarlet red fruits in the later season. While it can be grown as a standalone shrub, it's versatile enough to be trained against walls or fences, serving as an attractive climber. Please note that the red fruits should not be consumed as they can cause stomach upset. With a height and spread of up to 300cm (118 inches), 'Red Star' adds visual appeal to any garden setting, whether as a standalone shrub or a climbing feature.
