Plant ID - not a weed!

Someone gave this to me a while ago so it’s not a weed, but I have no idea what it is! Does anyone know?

Looks like Geum or Potentilla Cinquefoil. I always have trouble telling them apart from just leaves.
There’s a shrub Potentilla as well, but it’s not that.

I’d go with Potentilla rather than Geum

Thank you! I’ve looked at images for both of those plants and I actually think it looks most like Geum in real life. I suppose I’ll find out for sure when it flowers!

Alchemilla mollis I'd say

Definitely not Alchemilla. Geum I'd say.

It looks like the dwarf lady's mantle I have in the garden, it is much daintier than the standard.

My best guess is potentilla.

I can see where you’re coming from with Alchemilla, but Alchemilla wouldn’t have those brown stems or bits of last year’s growth.

Of course, all three are members of the rose family, so we’re all agreed on one thing!
