Native to China and the Himalayas, Rubus biflorus is a vigorous briar with tall white, thorny stems that dazzle throughout winter. Dark green leaves emerge in spring. Once mature, small clusters of scented white flowers appear on the branches in early summer.

The attractive stems of Rubus biflorus make it a spectacular addition to a winter garden, especially when planted in small groups.

For maximum effect, hard-prune Rubus biflorus to ground level each spring to encourage growth of fresh new stems. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it the prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
