I have a viburnum tinus, I bought it particularly for interest in winter as it flowers right now. The flowers smell amazing. It's super easy to take care of, is drought tolerant and is growing happily in the shade.
I think Opulus flowers in spring/summer and loses it's leaves unlike Tinus which is evergreen.

I have a normal guelder rose as part of a sort-of-hedge - so that's an unimproved viburnum opulus I think. It is a wild hedgerow plant, whose flowers and berries are ornamental enough to nearly be properly garden worthy. So maybe your improved version would be. It's big, sprawling and bushy, and in the winter its just a bundle of bare twigs. I really do like it a lot, but for a slightly out of the way spot not a focal point

@hugo7
Anyone know anything about Viburnum opulus Roseum Snowball Bush?
I particular what it's actually like in winter, and how manageable it is in a normal garden.
Cheers
