Two Unknown Bushes


I don't know the name of either of these bushes.
The top one with pink flowers is deciduous and we may have just killed it! It needed to be moved but the roots had gone through the bottom of the barrel — we dug out as much of them as we could.
The lower bush is evergreen and has self-propagated by "layering" its lower branches. I cut off a couple (with some roots) and potted them up three months ago. They survive so far.
Thanks.

Possibly Wegeila at the top. Could the bottom one be a form of Lonicera?
If I'm wrong (I often am) someone will put you right
The top one is one of the wiegelias, and the bottom one looks like a Euonymus fortunei

The top one is a variegated Weigela. I've cut one down to bare branches before and it came back but it did take a full year!
It's a deciduous shrub, flowers in May / June, likes full sun and should be pruned after flowering.
The bottom one looks like a Eeuonymus, but not completely sure.
Wegeila, possibly versicolor and are the bottom two the same plant? The left looks like Lonicera ntitida in its 'golden' form and the right looks like either Euonymus or even a Hebe.
Verdun.does baggesons gold have variegated leaves?
I agree with Weigelia for 1, are 2 and 3 the same plant?

the bottom 2 don't look the same to me.
The enlarged one looks like a euonymus. The other one has the shape of the lonicera.
But if they are the same it has to be the euonymus.

that's how it looks to me, except the post is called 2 unknown bushes, not 3
