Sorry it's a bit big (I struggle with pictures!). And I hope this post
is in the right place.

Can anybody tell me what this is please? The information I have is that
it grows rapidly in both height and spread; has pink flowers and the
leaves take on a reddish tinge in the winter.

The leaves are small, dull and soft, a light green and very slightly
serrated, and not in pairs. The leaf stems are reddish.

This plant was a cutting and it's in it's first year.

The lady I got it from called it 'Rampant Rain'.

I'd like to know a bit more about it before I plant it in the garden.

Thank you - hope you can help.

Hi Sadge, From the picture, which is a bit vague on my screen, I'd opt
for maybe Hoheria but it doesnt have pink flowers as far as I'm aware ?
You say that it doesnt grow into a tree but if thats its first year then
it looks to me as if its going to grow very big indeed ??
Lannerman.

If the leaves are about an inch long, as stated, then it's not as big as
it looks - perhaps 18 inches high, assuming that the base of the plant
isn't too far below the bottom of the photograph.
