    I think it's a weigela. Here are a couple of images from the web. Do you think they match your plant? (Flower colour differs according the variety.) The first picture shows 'Bristol Ruby', which looks very much like your photo.

    Thanks Claralou yes your spot on. It was here when I moved to the house just recently so I didn't know what it was. Yes PeterS it is a lovely shrub plus it attracts lots of bees which I like. Save The Bee.
