Deutzia is a genus that has a lot of different flowering shrubs. When it gets too cold in the winter, seems like they can have dieback. These flowering shrubs are worth growing though, as the flowers do not go unnoticed.

Iowa Privet
The main Privet I am currently growing is the Amur River North Privet. These shrubs flower when young, though haven’t produced fruit yet.
Iowa Flowering Roses
There are a few different Roses that flower on my Oasis. The most common and aggressive one is the Multiflora Rose. Even though a lot died from RRD(Red Rosette Disease), there are still some lingering around and starting up. Maybe as time goes on, more resistant Multiflora Roses will exist and not die from RRD.
Variegated Brome Grass
Sometimes even common weeds get my attention. This stem of Brome Grass stands out with its variegation.
Iowa Phyllostachys Parvifolia
My Bamboo experiences have been mentioned a lot in my previous entries. I still have a few species still alive. This Bamboo species, Phyllostachys Parvifolia, is one of the hardier bamboo species. In my climate, it also dies to the the ground usually, even though it is on the south side of the house.
Flowering Hardy Kiwi
My female Kiwi plants are currently flowering. As in the past, there has not been a male to pollinate these vines, so they may not have fruit again.
