Description
Chaenomeles speciosa 'Pink Storm' is the pink-flowered version of the remarkable 'Storm' series, bred and tested in the Appalachian Mountains, bringing together particularly hardy and drought-tolerant bushes. Its very large double flowers resemble camellias more than quinces. They bloom all along its thornless branches from spring. This beautiful novelty does not produce fruits. It is easy to integrate into an informal hedge or to train, even in a small garden. Its flowering branches are superb in bouquets.
'Pink Storm' is derived from Chaenomeles speciosa, a thorny shrub native to China and belonging to the Rosaceae family. This variety was recently obtained in North Carolina, USA, and is distinguished from the species by its more modest growth, thornless branches, and fabulous flowering that is not followed by the formation of fruits. This dense shrub will form a rounded bush, about 1 to 1.2m (3 to 4ft) high and wide. Its flowering lasts from April to May, for about 3 to 4 weeks. The large nectar-rich flowers, reaching 5 to 6cm (2in) in diameter, are composed of numerous petals that overlap a little like those of certain roses. Then the flower opens up and reveals a yellow stamen centre. The flowers are carried on very short or even absent pedicels, and grouped in 3 to 5 on the previous year's branches. The leaves develop after the flowers; they are narrow to lanceolate, 3 to 9 cm (1 to 4in) long and 1.5 to 5cm (1 to 2in) wide, with a beautiful shiny dark green on their upper surface.
Japanese quinces, like Forsythias, Abeliophyllum, and Japanese kerrias, are among the first to provide beautiful spring flowers, so eagerly awaited after a long winter. They are comfortable in all climates, as they are not afraid of heat or cold. They can be grown both as standalone plants and in mass plantings. 'Pink Storm' can be used in hedges, alongside fragrant shrubs such as winter honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) that precedes it, white lilacs that take over after its flowering, and buddleias to follow. This small shrub can also form a large ground cover, alongside ground cover roses, creeping ceanothus, or rosemary, for example. It can also be trained against a wall, near the house, paired with a winter jasmine, to enjoy it with every passing. Its still bare but bud-filled branches look beautiful in tall vases.

Planting and care
Chaenomeles speciosa 'Pink Storm' thrives in the sun. You can also grow it in partial shade, in sunnier regions. Plant it in ordinary, moist but well-drained soil. It will tolerate drought after 3 years of cultivation. It also tolerates limestone. It is a very easy plant to grow. When planting, mix your soil with compost. When grown as a hedge, space the plants 80cm (32in) apart. In a flower bed, the plants should be spaced 40 to 60cm (16 to 24in) apart. This Japanese quince is resistant to pollution. It requires little maintenance, apart from occasionally pruning the longest branches in spring, as they can become less floriferous.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
