Any help appreciated..I cant remember the name of the last one .Also does anyone know if any of the nettle family sting other than the stinging nettle.

No.1 is a dog-rose sp; it's impossible to say which from that view.

No.2 is a cotoneaster; I'd like to see a bit more of it, but almost certainly it's Waterer's Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster x watereri)

No.3 looks like Oxford Ragwort (Senecio squalidus), and No.4 is Hedge Woundwort (Stachys sylvatica)

There's quite a few different species of dog rose; to identify them, you really need a photo of the leaves, flowers and/or a clear shot of the fruit (hips).

With cotoneasters, it helps to have a photo of the upper & lowerside of the leaves, as well as a general view of the plant. They also differ in the number of stones in the fruit, so it's always useful to break open one of them to find that out.
