    To me it looks like a camelia in need of some TLC.

    Possibly grew from some garden waste dumped there. Happens a lot.

    It's Cotoneaster, a garden shrub. Not sure which variety - possibly Cotoneaster simonsii. Spread by birds eating its berries and considered an invasive species.

    I probably miscalculated the size of the leaves, so.

    I'd guess Cotoneaster too, the berries haven't turned red yet.....
