Please Can Someone Identify This Tree Or Shrub, For Me?

A while back l bought a standard rose from a garden cantre and there were two little plants growing in the soil in the pot.
As it was from a garden centre, l thought they must have come from ‘something special’ and they weren’t weeds!
This one in the pic has grown very tall and has greenish hairy type flowers growing on it.
I have looked in my RHS Good Plant Guide but can’t find anything like it yet!
Maybe, someone could kindly help me out?

What!! Meg, l got so excited when l saw you had posted as l would love to know what it is!

Can you go through the alphabet to see if it jolts your memory?

At least, the fact you recognise it, means that l am not growing a weed!

Maddy, I once grew two bottle brush/Callistemon trees from cuttings but they both died in a bad winter. I was really sad!

I am not sure, if this is a bottle brush as l’m sure the ‘brushes’ should be red and the leaves are different.

Maybe, it could be related to the Callistemon family?

I'm sure I saw one yesterday at the garden centre but didn't notice the name.

Thank You! TessA,
This is a pic l have taken at a closer angle. It does make the flowers look bigger than they really are!
