We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

Ah ..yes ..thanks very much Aquariel. Although the blooms don't seem to have the pinky bits as they blossom but I would imagine it's some sort of variety of the same .

Yes there are several varieties shaney, I've got a low growing ground cover one.
