Sometimes known as bridal flower, Deutzia scabra Pride of Rochester is a tall, deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and arching branches, lovely at the back of a border. The pale brown bark peels as the shrub matures, and the ovate leaves, 3/7.5cm long, are deep green and scabrous (fuzzy) hence the species name. In June and July, the shrub is covered with dense, upright panicles of honey-scented flowers, with rows of white petals, tinged with pink at the base. Deutzia Pride of Rochester is notably resistant to honey fungus, rabbit-resistant, easy to grow, and very attractive to bees and other pollinators.
