Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Scarlet Storm’
Choose Double Take® Scarlet Quince if you want strong early red bloom without thorny old-fashioned quince growth. The tradeoff: it is a spring show first, not a privacy plant or all-season anchor.

- You want red flowers early.
- You dislike thorny shrubs.
- Deer pressure is a concern.
Skip This If
- You need winter privacy.
- You want summer-long bloom.
- You need a very small shrub.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The red spring bloom makes a clear statement when many shrubs are still waking up. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace, but it is not the fastest way to make a hedge. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Thornless and fruitless growth keeps it cleaner than older quince, with pruning best done after bloom. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It works in many home beds, but it still needs room to keep its natural shape. |
| Screening Value | C | It can add seasonal mass, but its deciduous habit and spring focus limit privacy value. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we would typically place this where spring color matters up close: near walks, patios, or mixed borders. Give it room, then prune right after flowering only if shaping is needed.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it have thorns?
No, this variety is thornless, which is a big upgrade over older flowering quince.
Will it make fruit?
No, it is fruitless, so it stays cleaner around beds and walkways.
When should I prune it?
Prune after flowering so you do not cut off the next spring’s bloom.
