(Pimpinellifolias) A breathtaking flush of small, perfectly formed double white blooms smothers every arching branch in May and June, creating a frothy cascade of blossom that is as generous as it is beautiful. Delicate fern-like foliage adds to its elegant, almost wild charm, while a rich, heady fragrance fills the air around it. Come autumn, small, glossy blackish hips provide a further season of ornamental interest.
