This is Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' a spreading deciduous shrub grown for its vibrant multicoloured winter stems. These stems imitate a fire providing a yellow base that fades from orange to red at the tips.

To ensure brightly coloured stems of an established Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' it should be pruned back every 1-2 years in February-March as the old stems become dull and woody with age. Pruning can be done in various different ways, however, I believe hard pruning out two thirds of the old growth to just above ground level is most effective as the remaining third is able to photosynthesis over the summer providing energy to the plant and ensuring new vigorous growth of fresh bright stems.

In the summer this shrub has light green oval foliage with clusters of small white flowers and the red of the stems can still be seen peaking through. This plant can handle the majority of garden situations except full shade and can be propagated through hardwood cuttings in the autumn.
