Not sure about the first, possibly Cotoneaster horizontalis, but the
second looks like Olearia macrodonta. Does it have clusters of white
daisy-like flowers in early summer?

I agree with you, Chris, that is certainly Cotoneaster. Olearia was my
first thought, but looking at the bark made me consider Mahonia
aquifilium - if it has yellow (and scented) flowers, that would
indicate Mahonia.

The first one could be Lonicera nitida, and the second, Olearia.

I was thinking Lonicera pileata, rather than Lonicera nitida.

No it's Osmanthus heterophylla, very nice plant and slow growing and
evergreen. I have the variegated form
