Default what shrub is this?

Difficult to be absolutely certain, but it looks very like Raphiolepis
umbellata to me. I can never understand why these 'Indian Hawthorns'
have never quite caught on UK gardens. They are tough, resilient
evergreens with attractive flowers, foliage and berries. Very few
grow much more than shoulder height and once planted they don't need
masses of attention. Ideal for small gardens, low hedges etc.
