my mother received a bush as a gift from my aunt and the tag for the care was missing. She called it a blood bush but we can't find anything by that name. Could you please help us?

Can't help unless it was a Broom bush. Mostly they have yellow flowers but some of them have a blood-red pinky flower. Was the foliage rather feathery?
Some years ago Kew Gardens at Richmond, Surrey had a facility where, if you sent a cutting of a plant to them, they would identify it. They did this for me very efficiently when somebody gave me a cutting of a shrub whose name they didn't know. Don't know whether they still do this but they've probably got a website and you may be able to contact them and find out via their "contact us" facility if they have one.
There's blood flower
here

are you in the uk? it would help to know whether or not it's something tropical, although the weather here would suit it at the moment if it is!
I too, would like a little more to go on,could you please post any usful details ie flower shape (if any) leaf shape / size, colour etc.
I hope Robinia is right with blood flower (as she often is) or maybe the name is something similar, I think there may be many cultivars that have the word blood in the name if perhaps they have leaves or flowers of that colour ?
Any more info will be greatfully accepted, Thanks T bird+
