Salmonberry Olympic Double Grown for its stunning blossom, Rubus spectabilis Olympic Double is a medium-sized, vigorous, deciduous shrub with prickly, upright stems and a suckering habit. The glossy, deep green leaves have three ovate lobes. In April and May, beautiful, purple-pink fully double flowers 2”/5cm across are borne singly along the branches. Good in a wild garden, Salmonberry Olympic Double is a thicket-forming shrub, spreading by means of its suckers.
