Botanical Name: Cotinus coggygria 'Ancot' koe-TY-nus koe-GIG-ree-ah Synonyms: 'Golden Spirit' Genus: Cotinus
This specimen is grown for its stunning golden leaves, which turn to brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn. It may or may not produce the smoke-like plumes typical of the genus. 
 Noteworthy characteristics: Cotinus are outstanding specimens in a shrub border, and are a great choice for massing or for hedges. 
 Care: Grow in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. These plants are tolerant of alkaline soils; moist, clay soils; and dry, rocky soils. The leaves may scorch in full sun, but only during stress by drought. They need minimal pruning to maintain a healthy framework, or alternatively, may be coppiced to produce large, dramatic foliage on varieties with colorful foliage (this is at the expense of generous flowering).
 Propagation: Sow seed in autumn, layer in spring, and take softwood cuttings in summer.
 Problems: Verticillium wilt.

These showy shrubs have two distinct phases of garden interest. In winter, they display boldly colorful bark—red, yellow, or orange—on twiggy stems to make a striking scene. In spring, the stems lose their vivid color and produce bright green, gold, or variegated foliage that accents the garden through the fall. Twig and leaf color vary acording to the cultivar.

'Agnes'  is one of the few yellow rugosa roses, and it epitomizes the finest rugosa attributes in both leaf and overall form. Doubled blooms give this selection an old-fashioned aspect, as does its delightful fragrance, which is reminiscent of antique roses. Bloom color changes somewhat with the temperature: in cool temperatures, the flowers are an apricot hue, but as the weather warms, they turn a soft yellow.

The white of this rose has a purity of color that is without equal. It produces semi-double, very fragrant flowers from spring to fall, which are sometimes followed by orange hips. It grows to 6 feet high and wide.

This choice rose has single, gently cupped light-pink flowers that exude an intense, clove-scented perfume. It blooms in spring and sporadically throughout the season, and produces red hips. In autumn, the foliage turns deep maroon, which changes to yellow tinged with coppery highlights. It grows to 3 to 4 feet high and wide.
