What is the name of this plant?

Question

I have seen this posted as a climbing hydrangea and a climbing viburnum. I can't find it anywhere to buy.

Judging from the leaves, I would say it's a Viburnum. I've never heard of a climbing one, but haven't really looked either. I would check with your local extension service, gardening website or local garden center for the exact type (it could be one that has been trimmed/grown that way, and doesn't naturally 'climb').

Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' or guelder-rose (snow-ball tree) likes moist, slightly alkaline soil,  but tolerates other types as well.  The flowers turn to red, very sour berries that actually edible - makes good marmalade or left for the birds for winter.  Pretty hardy as it is a deciduous shrub could grow big if not pruned.  Sorry, but I can't remember more specifics - we used to have one in our garden back home in Hungary and as I can recall, it just grown forever ... :) Hope it helps.

Not climbing Hydrangea (I have 3), looks like some kind of Viburnum.  The flowers on this are prettier than the Hydrangea.

This is in the Viburnum family and is not a climbing Hydrangea !!?

Marge · Answer

I want one whatever it is

Patti @Hearth and Vine · Answer

I save viburnum too. Is it fragrant. Hydrangeas usually are not and the leaf looks course which is also a viburnum trait.

Danielle · Answer

I think this might be a viburnum plicatum, also called 'Popcorn' Japanese snowball bush. You can order them from Hirt's Gardens at this link: http://hirts.com/popcorn-japanese-snowball-bush-4-pot-viburnum/

Snowball bush.

Letitia · Answer

I finally found it. It is a Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’ or plain old snowball tree. Evidently they can be trained to grow on a trellis. Thanks to all who responded!

Helen · Answer

I love it and thank you for finding where to get it.  I also love Hydrangeas.

Joanne Layton Woods · Answer

Claude Bougie · Answer

Too bad, this site does not mention the form of specific foliage of the two species...
