What's your weather like 2026
24c here but beginning to cloud over, wind has picked up slightly so that is probably it for now at least.

What shrub is this?
The one at RHS Rosemoor is over 10 m tall and in flower it's like a yellow wall. Mine is just over 1 m and nearly 3 years old, no signs of flowers yet and the shoots are just developing this spring.
