Next time you come across one, take a good look at it. I find it's the easiest shrub to reliably ID at all times of the year because of it's flat spreading tier-like branching pattern (there's probably other shrubs that branch similar but none I can think of) and at least wherever I've seen, it's always infected with a orange rust fungus (golden canker of alternate leaved dogwood) on at least one branch, I can only ever remember seeing one without it, though that's just my impression from Kings/Annapolis Co, where I do most of my tromping.
