The plant you have been looking for and didn't even know it. It's a resilient groundcover, it spreads in a neat herringbone - and if you plant it at the base of a wall it will grow as a kind of climber. Neat white flowers in summer and neat green leaves which it loses in winter. Bright red berries in autumn which stay on through winter. It's very tough and thrives down to -20C.
