Probably Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus sericea). Some sort of dogwood,
at least.

I'm not sure. It's clearly not Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed),
but while it looks rather Cornus-like, the leaf veins of Cornus sericea
(and Cornus sanguinea) are usually more swept forwards. I'd go for some
other sort of dogwood.
