Pic.1. Looks as if it might be Corylopsis spicata. Just coming into flower now. The flowers have a lovely scent. If it is, I am jealous, I have tried to grow it a couple of times and lost it.
Sorry but it is definitely Sorbaria sorbifolia Sem.
Joyce Goldenlily Corylopsis are among my favourite shrubs for spring flowers. They prefer woodland conditions with acid soil that stays dampish...a few pics of the flowers below.
@JAYJARDIN Think you may already have ID for second could be Rubus Betty Ashburner? I wondered if someone had suggested something different Sorry got a bit lost with this thread but you are making some good progress with your ID's.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
As has been mentioned on this forum quite a few times, it would have been much easier if the OP had posted their 2 requests for ID in two separate posts. This is a general rule of forum netiquette anyway: one question per post!
As usual, kudos to @Silver surfer for the superb and informative photos.

1.Thank you for kind comments re photos. To me a pic is worth a 1,000 words.
2. I have been banging on about this for years. Posts of 10 plants to be id are a complete nightmare. No one can be bothered to read all posts when it goes on for pages. Even 2 here has been difficult with just winter closed buds to go on. With leaves it became instantly easy!
On the USA forums "National garden Association".......the rule is one plant per post.
It works so very well...especially when we ask for more images. I would love to see the same rule here. But that needs the forum bosses to make that rule.
Is there another shrub that has the little spots along their branches?
LynNow we know that it is not Forsythia but Sorbaria sorbifolia sem, I must find one to get a clear pic of the stem to show the little spots to add to my pic library!

Is that why we get a number of American gardeners using this forum?

I am amazed at how many people from UK end up on the USA forum..."National garden Association". So not surprised that folk from USA end up here. Now with the wonders of the internet plant id can be done world wide.
If I designed a plant id web site another rule I would make is to have country/county of origin shown as compulsory near name.
Grumbles for the day over. Freezing up here. ..very hard frost. Cannot do anything outside. Bored. Sorry!
Totally agree about place of origin, @Silver surfer. The number of times I have given advice, to subsequently find the poster was from the Antipodes/ USA etc. Also agree with limiting number of plants in an identification thread, although that is much harder to enforce.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Agree with others who said Sorbaria sorbifolia Sem.
Notice that it is pinnate...many small leaves on the stem.

Lots more pics on flickr.

Many thanks to Gardener Suze and Silver surfer for the ID's.
This was an old post before I knew about the 1 plant per question, but I will adhere to that in future as I can see how confusing it is.
I do have some more to ID but will wait until I at least get some leaves to make the ID's easier !
Spring is almost upon us, I can't wait ! Cool here in Devon but the sun is shining and actually it looks like Spring is on the way !
