Please help identify this plant

Please could anyone help me to identify this plant.
Shrub type plant with red stems and pink flowers that blooms late spring - early summer, though has not done so for some time. Green leaves with cerrated edges. About four foot in height and has been growing for a long time.

I am unable to find this on any sites and would be most grateful if anybody knows what this plant is or could point me in the right direction for finding out about it. :cnfs:
Thank you very much.


Please note max image sige for GC is 800x600

 

Yes, looks like Cornus (dogwood) - I have a similar one but the stems on your plant are much redder. Lovely shrubs, with their foliage in summer and the colourful stems in winter. They also respond well to being cut back hard in late winter/early spring.

 

Not a dogwood, as it has pink flowers, and the stems are too thin. The leaves look like Ceanothus x pallidus Marie Simon, which has pink flowers in late spring - early summer.

 

I think it`s Cornus Sibirica.:gnthb:

 

The plant in the pics has alternate leaves with 3 veins.
I would like to see what the flowers look like.
It could well be a Ceanothus sp.or cultivar.
Ceanothus x pallidus Marie Simon and Ceanothus x pallidus Perle Rose have pink flowers.

Cornus have opposite leaves.
Except for Cornus alternifolia and Cornus contraversa which have alternate leaves, I do not believe it looks like either of these.

 

a viburnum maybe...it has those linear lines on the leaves?

 

Definitely not a Viburnum.
Viburnum have opposite leaves.

 

hmm your right just looked up the ceanothus mentioned above....had never seen that species....but the pics look like a good match?

 

I thought dogwood as well, initially, but I am swayed by the pink ceanothus which is very attractive - I haven't seen it in pink before.
