An old property with old plants

The first opens with pink flowers.
A graceful pine with beautiful cones.
This one should be easy as the next too which I think is a Weigela.
I went to identify roses but as most were not flowering it was a bit hard.
I am not sure why some of these have gone sideways.

Hi Pat,
Here are a few suggestions:
1) Euonymus - maybe alatus
2) Abies concolor??
3) Symphiocarpus albus - snowberry
4) coulod be anything! Maybe Cestrum - any pics of flowers or seeds?
cheers

I agree with Fermi about number 1, Euonymus, but I think the needles on the second pic look more like a cedar than an abies.

Another photo of the pine
I thought the last one was a Weigela - it has a furry texture to the leaves Fermi. I thought the seeds were kind of fluffy. (What a layman's description!!)
I need to take my Trees of Britian and Northern Europe with me next time.

I think it may be Cedrus deodara. Carolyn, do you think the Euonymus in photo 1 could be europaeus?

Having seen the second photo, Cedrus something, not a pine at all. I have Cedrus atlanticus in my garden and I am not sure that this is an exact match.
Gordon, the leaves and seedheads look like Euonymus europaeus, but I am put off by Pat saying it has pink flowers. Mine has greenish flowers which you could miss completely if you didn't look carefully.

For Euonymus europaeus, is it not that the flowers are greenish and it is the swollen calyces/fruit that are pink?

Yes, Maggi, if you look closely at the first photo I think you can see tinges of pink just developing.

Here is another shot of the Euonymus bush. The owner showed me a photo of it in flower and it was very bright pink.
I can see now that I should have taken far more photos and recorded more for my planting plan which I drew up. Another visit is definitely required.
Many thanks for all the suggestions.

Hello there,
The Euonymous looks very like E. Europaeus in the second picture. It varies quite a lot from seed in capsule colour but there is a superb form called Red Cascade with very deep pink red capsules in abundance and excellent autumn colour. It could also be E. hamiltonianus but the leaves do look more like Europaeus. I think your on the right track with Cedrus but not sure which one. The third is as stated Symphoricarpus but it looks like a Deutzia or perhaps Philadelphus growing with it. Not sure re fourth picture but could be a Weigelia or perhaps Kolkowitzia or Diervilla..
Hope you have success in identifying them. Perhaps a later visit to the garden when in flower.

Spindle, Euonymus europaeus, grows not far away from me, mainly on limestone. The flowers are greeny yellow. The fruit capsules turn dark pink when ripe. The seeds inside are orange. Quite a contrast and always a rewarding site in Autumn.
