A dear friend asked me to ID this shrub for her. She is living in London for a year. The flowers appear to be single in clusters of 4-5. I think the leaves are serrated but not sure. She says it has a wonderful fragrance. Stamen almost appear to be rose like, but not sure. Photo is current. Thanks to anyone who can at least take a guess!

Is it a kiwi?! Are the flowers cream with pale yellow in the middle?! Furry leaves? Picture blurs a bit so can't fully see them when zoom in- I have one. Could be?!

It is a philadelphus, possibly Belle Etoile. The common name is mock orange.

Could it be Rubus tridel "Benenden"?

This looks like a Philadelphus or Mock Orange to me. The white, 4-petalled flowers are very fragrant.

Hi Rachelle,
That looks like Philadelphus or Mock Orange Blossom to give it it's common name. There are many pretty varieties including 'Belle Etoile' which has a burgundy smudge in the centre. They flower about this time of year and they do indeed smell divine!

Hi....no expert in any sense, but could this be a variety of Philadelphus (Mock Orange)....known for it's beautiful scent,and remembering from my childhood, a popular planting in London along with Lilac (Syringa?).
Good luck.

From the picture, it looks to me a bit like a Philadelphus (mock orange) of which there are many varieties listed on the Shoot website. They have scented flowers. We used to have one which looked like this, with dark green leaves, but I never knew which variety it was.

It is a Philadelphus, thats for sure! But not sure wich one of them, P. coronarius is the most fragrant one. You may ofcourse have many more varieties in England, than we have here in Finland.

That looks like a double Philadelphus - the fragrance at this time of year is the give-away.

It's Phhiladelphus. Lovely scent

There isn't much to go on from the photograph but I'm pretty certain that it's a philadelphus and probably:
Philadelphus starbright (mock orange starbright).
