I came accross this thorny shrub and was wondering if anybody can help me identify this. I've been on the internet, but could not find anything.
Please help.

Thanks

Quince?

That would be my guess.

looks pretty quincey to me too. Brent should be able to give us a definative answer.

Looks like a "Texas Scarlet Flowering Quince" to me.

Flowering quince, Chaenomeles speciosa or C. japonica, no doubt about it. There are about a dozen red cultivars, pretty hard to tell which one it is.

Thanks you all! It is exactly that. The moment I put in the name on the internet, I got the answer.

Thanks again!
