Can You ID This Sorry Specimen?

Another anonymous donation from a well-meaning relative, this shrub was rescued bare-rooted from its near-death experience earlier this summer.
After a little TLC it has perked up and produced a lot of new shoots, reaching about 40cms in height. Trouble is I'm clueless as to what its name is.
I'd appreciate if anyone can shed some light...

OK thanks, Hostafan1. I'll start digging into buxus...
