    I am trying to find out what this plant is. The shape is like a climbing rose bush left without a trellis to grow on. The branches a single growing out of the ground, the branches do not have off shoot branches. The leaves are about 2 inches, typical green on top, but the underneath is a metallic silver, which is beautiful in the breeze.

    Does anyone know what this might be?

    Thanks!

    A picture of the whole thing might be helpful.

    Thank you! I think it is autumn-olive. Though finding a picture where it shows the silver underside well is not easy.

    THANK YOU!
