There was no name label, and I was really pleased when I entered: gooseberry with flowers like fushias into my search engine I found the name. Ribes speciosum or Fushia Flowering Gooseberry.
With great spines, and my hatred of being lacerated by thorns, I don't think this one will be in my garden. Had the flowers been followed by large delicious berries, I may well have been tempted, since I love gooseberries. The two gooseberry plants, which I have growing in tubs are now in flower and my mason bees are doing a fine job of pollinating them.
