Rose Glow Barberry
Description
A deciduous shrub (4-6' tall and wide) with bronze-red foliage that is mottled with pinkish cream coloring; it deepens to rose and bronze. Full sun is needed to develop the colors. Bright red berries appear in the fall. Each branch has long, sharp thorns so it forms a good barrier.
