ID if possible !

Hello there, just wondering if anyone can identify this shrub please? It's in a friends garden she said it has tiny red flowers in summer & the bees love it. I thought it was honeysuckle or jasmine but she's quite adamant it's neither! It's quite a large & bushy about 6ft tall and 4 wide ish!
Thank you !

 

Could it be one of the Weigelas?

 

More info needed.

Is this in UK or else where in the world?

Do please add location details.

If Weigela then it should be bare by now as Weigela is decidious.
When was pic taken?
If recent it must be evergreen.

Any sign of berries or seed capsules?
Zooming in I can see stalks of something.

 

Reminds me of Lonicera korolkowii

 

Reminds me of my Leycesteria formosa (Himalayan honeysuckle) which currently still has its leaves. Though in summer that has dangling red-purple bracts with little white flowers, rather than tiny red ones....

 

Hello, my friend lives in Devon the photo was taken last weekend. All she can remember is tiny red flowers & im not there now so sadly can't get another photo at the moment.

 

@Millie16 What does your friend think it is.
Whereabouts in Devon as climate is different in a coastal area compared to inland Devon.
Leaves remind me of some of the Loniceras I grow.

 

Thanks.
I think it may be deciduous as some leaves are beginning to turn yellow.

Leycesteria formosa (Himalayan honeysuckle) has green hollow stems.
Don't think the leaves are the right shape.
Pics below..... to show pendulous flower stalks. with white flowers, coloured bracts and black berries, leaves etc.
Last pic shows one in winter.

 

It looks like a jasmine to me, if it has red flowers, then jasminum beesianum probably.

All my jasmine still have leaves and don't look particularly autumnal yet.

 

Hello Thevictorian, I've looked at your suggestion and think that's possibly it !! Next time I chat to my friend I'll ask if that rings a bell, then wait till summer to see what the flowers are like. I googled red jasmine but was confused as some photos show it with pink flowers and some as red for the same plant, beesianum. Descriptions say it's semi evergreen so hence it still has leaves!
Thank you !

 

Ours can look red or pink depending on the stage of the flower. I would describe it as more pink but it opens/has buds that are more red before fading a little.
We have another that has bright red buds but opens into white flowers.

If it is beesianum then be careful as they can be quite thuggish if you aren't strict with them.

 

I did wonder about Jasminum beesianum but discounted it as it is a twining climber.
No mention of mystery shrub twining or climbing.
I am now confused.


Quote Ornamentalk Trees.
" Jasminum beesianum is climbing Jasmine"

Quote RHS...
"Jasminum beesianum
red jasmine

A woody, twining climber, with dark, dull green ovate leaves, and cymes of small red, salveform, fragrant flowers from early summer. May be deciduous in colder areas of the UK."

 

I just tried it on identify.plantnet.org and it gave me 57% probability Jasminum beesianum, with no other strong candidates.
