[Proven Winners cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/chaenomeles/double-take-pink-quince-chaenomeles-speciosa) ## Garden Use Plant it where the early flowers can be seen up close, such as a foundation border, mixed shrub bed, or cutting garden. The rounded shrub can also be used in a low hedge or a group planting; allow room for its mature spread. ## Growing Conditions Full sun to partial sun suits this quince. The listed mature size is about 4–5 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, with flowers opening in early to late spring. The breeder profile gives USDA zones 5–9 and describes strong drought tolerance once the plant is established. ## Maintenance Prune after flowering if you need to shape the shrub, since its blooms form on old wood. Water regularly while it establishes, then adjust irrigation to local rainfall and soil drainage.
