Yeah Ken ,they are nice simple flowers and are all from cuttings taken from an old local garden--so best I can come up with is red flowering quince -I'm afraid I don't know the actual variety---but I have to search for some styling ideas--see if I have to keep it small or let it go a bit

I assume it is one raft / Clump?

Make it a mini / small Shohin or you could grow out for a few years
