Can any green fingered people identify this. We had a walk around kew gardens Sunday and saw this. Most of the plants/ trees have little name plaque’s on them but this one didn’t.

A quick google has not helped and i think its some kind of hawthorn as it was near others ?

We would like one for our garden as it looked great.

Thanks.

Google Lens says it might be the above, and the flowers and leaves do look right.

Thanks for the reply,
The leaves do look the same but the flowers a bit different ?
All the ones I’ve googled have just white flowers and not the orangey ones. ? Maybe they change to that colour when they and nearly done ?

The leaves definitely restrict what it could be - I’m also tempted by Guilder Rose (especially as a Kew writer did a piece on them as one of the seven important scrub species alongside Hawthorne and blackthorn etc (which you said it was planted with).

Flower colour isn’t always the best guide with plants, or maybe it’s better to say you can easily get slight (or severe) variations

Don’t suppose you got any closer-up pics of the flowers?
