When in school in Ct there was a shrub that bloomed an interesting color
of
red during the winters.

Perhaps it was the Red osier dogwood:

Red bark isn't the same as a red flower, but evergreen Camelea sasanqua
varieties include those which have intensely red flowers in winter (also
pink ones & white ones), & Asian hybrid deciduous witchhazels include
cultivars with strappy red winter flowers (also orange ones & yellow ones
& bicolors).
