We have a few of these (10) in a small new back yard (Courtyard Block)

We have to spray quite a lot - bugs - the leaves are eaten from underside &
become deformed - the stems go black and if we don't spray every 2 weeks or
so the problem comes back.
The shrubs were selected by the builder & I have not discovered much
information as to how tall they grow and how wide - so I am tempted to dig
them up and replace them.

I would tend to agree -- that's far too much work, and all that spray is
unhealthy. Get something better suited to your conditions, and don't forget
to put a flea in the builder's ear!
