    I grew this many years ago in a former garden. Quite unlike any other alchemilla.

    It's a very long shot, (and I still think your plant is a rubus!) but another possibility? Very tiny leaves if I remember rightly.

    I was thinking the first one was winter flowering jasmine, the yellow one that has no perfume, as it seems to have a few flowers on.

    More in post below.

     Not a match for Jasminum nudiflorum, it  is a straggly shrub with angular, green stems and flowers that are opposite.

    Could the second one be ground ivy? Not really an ivy, member of the mint family. Are the leaves scented? It has pretty little purple flowers, a wild flower or invasive weed - as you like.

    2nd one....Glechoma hederacea ...common name Ground ivy.
    Can be ruled out...stems are square and leaves  are  opposite.
    Leaves not right shape .

    Is there another shrub that has the little spots along their branches? 

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Hi Silver surfer
    I think you are 100% right with pic number 3- definitely that Rubus. Thanks so very much  :)  And I'll go with Forsythia for the shrub as I think that is correct. The one I left at my previous house was 18 years old and although well pruned was quite a large specimen, I'd forgotten how they look when they are small.

    Sorry .....I have not ruled out Forsythia...it is a very strong contender.
    You may be spot on.
    Have been thinking.... I had wondered about Corylopsis???
    Dithered  about Cornus mas....or Cornus officinalis
    Hence my request to see the flowers.

    It is very nice shape shrub and looks strong and healthy.

    You could be right with either of those Corylopsis or Cornus, I guess I'll have to wait and see what flowers it has next year. Patience is not one of my strong points but with gardening I'm learning I cannot have everything now !

    Still mulling this over, trying to be logical.
    Please can you look at buds carefully.
    Add new pics.
    I cannot see clearly.
    Forsythia leaves are opposite.
