Snowball Bush (Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’) is in full bloom. No bugs this year.

How stunning Durgen. I have 2 small ones. Looking forward to them looking like yours.

I had one at a previous house, they are lovely bushes!

Very pretty.

I too have a plant here which I call 'snow bush' - I do not know its name. When the petals fall off the ground looks like snow.

I can't believe how much farther along you are than us. I have two Viburnums also. One has a white lace-cap type flower, and the other a red lacey flower. (need to check my records on what type they are) Both are now only in the bud stage. The winter berries are quite the bird magnet.

It's beautiful!!! I'd love to have a Snowball Bush. It's definitely one of the most gorgeous plants I've ever seen. It would be a perfect addition for my future all-white garden

My have lost their leaves... dying something is eating them or some sort of disease... I think I have a european snowball...even the blue muffins (also a viburnum) seem to be suffering a bit

What is it? can I control it?

Viburnum leaf beetle, Pyrrhalta viburni devastated my bushes two years in a row. The one bush in front of the property was removed. There is no protection except heavy spraying, but it appears they are cyclic. Do a google and study them.
