Diablo Ninebark is a small, low maintenance, multi-stemmed shrub, that is used to add texture or color to any yard. This plant grows dark purple leaves in the spring and grows slightly faster than Common Ninebark. It features flaky red to brown bark, clusters of white flowers, and long, maple-like leaves. Diablo Ninebark can make a dense and colorful hedge, or it can be an attractive ornamental by itself.

The Morden Amorette Rose is a flowering hybrid shrub that is a compact grower, with bright reddish-pink blooms. The double-flowered blooms are lightly scented. This shrub blooms from late spring to late summer, and has glossy green leaves that turn yellow in the fall.

The Morden Amorette Rose is popular as it is fairly disease resistant, and is a vigorous grower.
