Default "Phopenia" shrub?

Probably Photinia fraseri, aka 'Red Tipped Photinia'. It grows very well
here in Zone 7, I'm not certain about colder climates.

I got a shrub from a homeowner in Oklahoma. She thought it was called
"Phopenia" but I haven't been able to find anything about it on the
web.

It has it has a woody stem and waxy medium sized leaves that are
oval-shaped. It is evergreen but the leaves turn deep red in the
spring (very striking).

I transplanted the plant in Kansas, and I was curious about
cold-hardiness, etc.
