Dear URGlers,
I've come across this pretty shrub in a garden I'm helping with :-

Any ideas ?
5 petals, reddish foliage, so I'm thinking rose family ?
thanks..
Mike.
There is one in my garden that has just finished flowering. I have
always thought it to be a variety of Camellia.

If it IS Leptospermum, Steve, the flowers are a lot smaller than a Camellia.
Here's a link to a pic of another but different one:
