Can anyone identify this 'spur cutting' that was brought to me by a friend. The intention was not to propagate it but simply identify it. Apparently the parent bush/shrub is about 6 feet high and covered in these small inflorescences all on about 6 inch long twiglets. I could possibly travel to her home to take a photo of the entire thing, she is elderly and can't do it herself, but it is several miles so I hope some GOYer can recognise it from this.

I'll try Pam but it is always more difficult, but not impossible, when something is in flower so if it doesn't work I will get her to bring a couple more spur cuttings later in the year. Fortunately she may not be into computers and digital cameras but is a very competent gardener. Thank you all folks, I will tell her what it is, I am sure she will be happy to know and so am I if I get to grow one.

Snipping the flowers off may help but the woos will be soft I suppose, its a lovely colour
