Please help me identify this plant?

I h
Found a very dead looking plant on my garden next to a name tag. I assumed it was the name of the plant and was thrilled to bits as I nursed it back to health. Showing my "agastache " very proudly to my friend the other day who broke the news to me.....It is not an agastache .
Has any one got an idea of what it might be. I most likey have it planted in the wrong spot, size wise not position as it is doing very well, just like an agastache would.

I've moved this to the Plant ID section, hopefully someone will be able to recognise it

As an option, it could be bougainvillea ...

Thanks usmankhanb4u. Will do....when it is not raining and my cat gets off my lap

Thank you Larissa and usmankhanb4u.
It does have thorns and now I remember buying it .
Obviously the first position i chose wasn't the best, not enough sun becuase of too much competition. Where I have it now suits it but not sure on the thorns. Probably needs to be a bit out of the way. Thinking cap on. Thanks again guys. Great help. Love this forum and a special thanks to Becky , Zigs and Ian

Its very flexible plant ,u can train it to b tall and catch sunlight , it will do fine in partial shade too , just needs sun for full bloom , what i do is guide long shoots towards open sun and remove bushy ones from under . it can have very long shoot around 20 ft .keep soil dry .

Thanks usmankhanb4u. Yours looks beautiful.
This is where I am thinking if putting mine. I just have to dig out an old rose that is hanging on for dear life. Have to bring out the big guns....that is ask for help.

Not too far from where it is doing well
