These can be stooled back each spring to grow for foliage only. I've just bought one called 'Golden Spirit' that I plan to grow in this way

Yes, I did that with the other one I have. It is a slightly different variety with a rather sprawling habit, so I cut it really hard back. It has still sent out long shoots, but the leaves are bigger, it's true. The one in the photo is rather elderly and in a mainly shrub border so I don't intend to cut it back hard,
