Cornus sanguinea (sanguinello)

Shrub that is best cut every year after flowering so that the young branches remain red in the winter. You can prune every other year to enjoy the autumn berries from time to time (which we would not have if we remove the spring flowers), or you can prune only half of the branches and the other half the following year. Interesting in the 4 seasons, white flowers in spring, berries in summer, red leaves in autumn, and red branches in winter.
