I recently went to the UK and visited some lovely gardens there. I'm working on a project to name all of the plants and I've done pretty well so far. There are a couple I can't seem to "decode" and it's driving me nuts. Any help would be much appreciated!

This eye catching shrub was in Annes Grove Garden in Ireland. Its a pretty big bush with small yellowish/red flowers. Its woody with what appears to be alternate clumps of leaves. The leaves are smooth without any serrations or lobes.
