My first thought was 'ornamental quince' too, as mine was called. Bought it in Woolies as a twig and it soon outgrew its allotted space. Did produce lots of lovely red flowers and inedible fruit. Last year went to plant heaven as I really couldn't find anywhere suitable to plant it on
The leaves do look like it could be a Japonica Quince.. I'll try take some more piccies today or tomorrow of the branches. Don't think there are any thorns or anything on them though (if that helps!).
This is a photo of Cotoneaster dammeri 'Coral Beauty'. Flowers in May, is evergreen up to -25 C and is normally used as a groundcover. Can grow up to 2 ft.
I really think this is the one you are looking for.

If it was a quince the fruit was edible- but has to be cooked long and slow - wonderful around a pot-roasted pheasant

My 2 Japonica quinces have a far more sprawling habit, not upright like this one.

That does look very similar. Here are some more piccies to assist
