Rubus spectabilis 'Olympic double' is a deciduous shrub, fully hardy and not fussy about it's soil, bogs are best avoided! It almost looks like a rose when it flowers, but this tough chap has no problems with black spot or greenfly, in fact if visitors to your garden sweep swiftly past it they may well think it's the healthiest rose they've ever seen! It does have a suckering habit so don't plant it in somewhere that you don't want it to fill a space because it will spread, if you want to keep it smaller you can prune it's mature, thorny stems back each year after flowering.
