    First looks like physocarpus Diabolo or one of its brethren.

    No idea on the rose.  There are thousands of them to choose from.  try looking at websites of major rose growers to see if you can find one similar.  They should let you enter colour and perfumed - or not - to help narrow the search.

    Physocarpus.

    No idea on the rose - but there will be hundreds of pink varieties.

    Physocarpus is easy to find in garden centres and online nurseries.   It can be propagated by softwood cuttings in summer.   Do make sure you have the owner's permission to take cuttings.

  • Thank you. I have both of owners permission. I would never dream of taking without asking. 

    there are some nasty people out there though I've had plants pulled out of mine! Was very angry at why someone would do this!! I would gladly have given them a cutting, they just needed to ask!!

    Reminds me of something that happened to a neighbour.  We live in a nice area in a quiet crescent that doesn't lead anywhere so we don't have many people walking past.  Jim the neighbour had some beautiful roses in his front garden, in summer he'd be out by 7am, deadheading and trimming.

    one morning he went out - every single bloom had been neatly cut off and taken away.  Obviously someone had seen & admired them the previous day and popped back late at night with a pair of secateurs.
