I have had Cotoneaster but I don't rate it as one of my favourites.

There's several Cotoneaster species.

When you look at their characteristics - easy to grow, flowers in
spring in abundance, followed by equally abundant berries, it seems a
bit unfair not to like it. Maybe it's because it's all too easy for a
tiny C horizontalis to turn your entire garden into a monoculture?
