It took awhile to figure this flower out - it is mostly known as a red quince flower, although the plant is related to the quince, it is not actually quince.
Really, it is more of an ornamental shrub that grows to around 2m and is enjoyed mostly for these bright coral-red blossoms in the Spring and the nasty spikes, which make it a great boundary plant.
