Yes, it is, Amy - it needs a sheltered position, but I love it!

how hardy is it? sheltered doesnt mean the same thing really does it? is it a wall shrub/climber? I have seen it before in books but you are the first person i know who grows it.

It's a small shrub - not very hardy, sadly. Needs a careful position - and possibly some winter protection, tho' 'Marian' came through last winter unscathed!

A lovely plant.If it survived last winter I may give it a try.

It was C. 'Marian's Marvel' that has come through two winters, Robert. This one was only planted this year, so I'll hold fire on its hardiness.
