Choisya/Carpenteria

Given to us as a poorly looking twig with a few leaves as a Carpenteria...but we now suspect it is a Choisya. The small white flowers that cover the bush in spring have a slight orange smell, very pleasing. Needs to be pruned each autumn to keep it in check, and covered to protect it from heavy snow in winter. Grown in a south facing bed.
