Is it Viburnum lantana ?
If so, it can be pruned in late winter, hopefully in a frost free period.
Question Author
Thanks but will it survive the winter ? should I bring it indoors or what ?
The common name for this shrub, is 'the wayfaring tree' which is native to the UK and therefore should be fully hardy outside.

It can be pruned back quite hard, if you wish.
You really need to establish what your plant is, as there is another bush also known as 'Lantana' which is less hardy and would be best brought inside for the winter.
Please google some images to identify your plant.
Lantana is a small tropical shrub usually grown for its lovely colours and because it attracts butterflies.
They have started to appear in garden centres for short term, annual use in summer bedding displays.
However, they can be potted up and kept in a frost free greenhouse and grown on the following year. Keep it on the dry side over winter.
