The Rose family has such wonderfully ripe, fruity colors up its leafy sleeve. I love the way a young Bradford pear keeps the fire going deep into November. Cherry leaves can turn pale yellow, melon, peach, and rose-red, but they're done earlier than the pears.
Autumn olive does tend to keep some leaves into winter, but it doesn't need to.
Next spring I find out which perennials and shrubs didn't mind being undersea for a day or three.
