The 'Rosy Rocket' is an attractive form of barberry which features deep red foliage that is flushed with mottled pink variegation. The leaves are obovate in shape and they are accompanied by yellow flowers in spring, which are later replaced by small red berries. The upright growing habit of this shrub and the spiny branches make it perfect for planting as an attractive security hedge.
