Chinese quince used to be called Cydonia Sinensis (a separate specie) or Cydonia Oblonga. I believe Cydonia has been reclassified to Pseudocydonia. This species is known for having white or pinkish flowers and large fruit. Again there are several varieties.
As far as I know both flower on "last years" growth.

heymikey - pretty sure I am dealing with Chinese "Quince" here, or as you point out, Pseudocydonia sinensis. Pic attached.
