Pretty. Never seen/heard of this one. Is this floriferous or a diva?

It carries a reasonable number of flowers, but is not loaded with them. They are fairly small for the size of the bush, but carried prominently above the foliage. Although the shrub is not fussy about soil or position, it is not a tidy grower, and can be a big ungainly. I find a bit of 'cosmetic' pruning in the winter is necessary to keep it looking respectable.

Thanks for the info, will leave this one as a curiosity.
