    Greetings! This is most probably a cultivar: it was found in Leicester, MA, drooping over a stone fence; the leaves are small, no more than 1 cm in length, the image dates from 2016-07-12. Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear Carl, your plant looks like it could be a species of Cotoneaster (common name is cotoneaster, a member of the Rosaceae). There are many species in this genus and flowers and fruits would be required for confident identification. I hope this helps a little. Best wishes.
