Default Identify a broom

I wonder if anyone can identify this broom? We have the common broom
Cytisus scoparius and this single shrub which we are struggling to put a
name to. It is quite distinct from the common and Spanish brooms in
that the twigs curl. A Google image search did not produce anything
obvious.
Here are 2 links to an image of it - the first one is 213 Kbhttp://www.pbase.com/rbel1/image/75228486/original
and the second just 73Kb for those with dial-up connectionshttp://www.pbase.com/rbel1/image/75228486/medium
Grateful for any feedback.


It's the Cistus x pulverulentus 'Sunset', I think, I suggest, only an
opinion ...
