ID Please

When I first started planting I must have put these in, I always chose a shrub that flowered/had berries, any ideas what any of them are please.

 

Sorry, I'm not confident enough to offer suggestions. Hopefully someone will be able to soon.

 

Brain is foggy, must be the sun! I think the last one looks like a member of the pea family
Will keep thinking.

 

1. Potentilla fruticosa...now called Dasiphora fruticosa.

Thank you that's great, that should look nice when it does flower,

I noticed two more tonight any ideas please.

 

5 and 6. ? Ist thought was Escallonia..but leaves not a total match.

Edit...just looked again. Tip of leaf weighed down with water drop...it is Escallonia!

7 and 8. Lonicera sp...a climbing honeysuckle.

Do please add clear pics to this thread showing the flowers when they open especially the ones that I am stuck on.

 

Thank you, I will post pictures up when they flower, I never really noticed them last year, this year they must be getting established and like it where they are

 

The second picture reminds me of my Rodgersia.... do you remember planting an Osmanthus? (Number 4)

 

Thank you Tetters, I'm rubbish with plant names, all I looked at was if it had a flower/berry, I never thought I would like gardening, it was a chore at the time, now a pleasure.

 

Mine too!

 

Silver surfer has suggested Escallonia Martin. If you crush a couple of leaves they will have a citrus smell to them. There was 80ft of Escallonia hedging in my last garden and I'm not sure your leaves are the same either, the veins in them look different to me.

 

Thank you S I will give it a go and report back

 

2. Is definitely not Rodgersia.
Rodgersia have huge leaves ..a long stalk with several leaflets at the top. See...

4. With a single big flower bud I am 99.9% sure it is not Osmanthus.
Osmanthus are evergreen with leathery small leaves...and small white flowers

Osmanthus - Wikipedia

 

Going back to progagating days, I think that the Osmanthus ''burkwoodii'' and ''delavayi'' had small glossy leaves, whereas the O. ''heterophyllus'' had holly shaped leaves. O. ''fragrans'' (I think it was) had larger leaves
I have found several different varieties of Rodgersia lately. Although we only dealt with shrubs, climber and grasses at the nursery, I have ventured out a bit further more recently, and have found huge Rodgersias with big palmate leaves, and smaller varieties with pinnate leaves.

 

There is no doubt in my mind that the shrub with the lonicera pics is indeed an Escallonia. It will be interesting to see what colour the flowers are. We propagated several varieties of this shrub - which incidentally is lovely as a flowering hedge.
