1. Loral or rhododendron ( if it is rhode rip it out ) or it could be a young holly like the stuff behind it in the photo.
2. May be copper beach
3. Not got a clue
4. Looks like iris seed head to me, so possibly stink iris
As ever I could be talking rubbish  ;D
Sorry

Is (1) two plants. Like the post above, the back looks like holly but the front less so and maybe rhododendron.

1) Holly some of the ornamental slections have smooth leaf edges rahter than the pricly thorn in thw widl form
2) Smoke bush  Cotinus obovatus
3) Ornamental plum or could be an ornamental crab apple. If it fruits look at it does it look like a small apple then iti is the latter..
4) Looks like a late daffodil to me but could be yellow itris how tall are the plants ?.

Cheers,

DD

1 - smooth leaved holly, probably
2 - ?
3 - Japanese Knotweed if it's taking over.   You'll have fun with that if it is.
4 - Iris by the seedhead, maybe Iris Foetidissima - does it have a smell?  Yellow/flag iris has a wider leaf. Any idea what colour the flower was?

Leaves don't look right for knotweed - it has pointed leaves whereas the leaves in the photo are rounded. Don't panic them!

no 4 looks like Iris foetida and as said above it smells if leaves are crushed purplish or yellowish flowers and red/orange berries in pod

no 3 i agree looks like cotinus  :)
