Default plant ID please

I have a large shrub which came from a cutting, taken from a recently
trimmed back shrub in a hospital car park.
The family have called it the snowball tree.
The mature leaves are quite large about 4 to 5 inches long and appear to be
covered in fine hairs.
The buds develope late summer/autumn, in fact they are developing now, very
tight about 1 inch across, they remain like this throughout the winter, late
winter early spring the buds open in the shape of a snow ball with tiny
white flowers.
Many thanks for any assistance
regards
