Kerria japonica ' Golden Guinea', also known as the ? Japanese Rose?, is an easy-to-grow deciduous shrub with arching stems that are filled with yellow flowers in spring. The original Kerria japonica cultivar was discovered by William Kerr, a young gardener from Kew who was employed by the East India Company in 1804 to search for undiscovered plants in China to be brought back to grow in British gardens. ? Golden Guinea? is bigger & brighter than those original plants, holding an RHS AGM. A good shrub for cottage & woodland style gardens, it will fill the garden with colour during the bleak winter months.
