Last one I promise. Please can anyone identify this.
Also does anyone use a plant id app and can recommend?
thanks!

If you are talking about the green bush, it looks like a rose. Is it prickly?
If you mean the plant with purple flowers - that could possibly be a hellebore, but it's hard to tell from the picture.

Sorry the bush not the hellebores. I’ll post another photo of another one. No thorns but does sort of look like a type of rose bush

Could it be Wigelia?

It looks like either a Dog Rose or Sweet Briar Rose, both of which are native wild roses which grow really well. The little orange berries are rosehips - kids used to cut them open and rub them on people as they’re similar to itching powder - so it’s definitely a rose of some sort. Either a climber or rambler, which is why I straightaway thought one of the wild ones, along with the slightly thinner leaves.

Both types of rose will have pinky coloured flowers (ranging from pale to quite bright) with a single set of petals, as opposed to non—wild roses which have loads of petals and are very ‘full’.

It’s a gorgeous shrub and sometimes the leaves and flowers will have a lovely appley fragrance.

do You have an iPhone OP? Take a photo. View the photo. Click the ‘I’ in a circle. Then ‘look up’ plant.

I think there is something similar on Android too

If you have an Android phone use google lens.

Plant identification apps are not always right. It is a good idea to Google what they suggest and look at lots of other images to make sure it has got the right guess

From (bitter) experience - plant apps aren’t always right, and I’ve tried loads!

It’s 100% a rose of some sort because it’s got the rosehips on it.

Thanks so much everyone. Definitely worth keeping then.
yes I have an iPhone. I’ll try what has been suggested.
You are all stars!⭐️⭐️
