I think that at least some flowering quinces are not self-fertile; might this
have been its problem?

That looks like an ornamental quince.  I had one once.  Never got any fruit. 
I dug it up 3 years ago but still get puts out suckers.

Thanks everyone. I think it is a flowering quince-- I looked at
photos of the fruit and that is how I remember it. Hope it didn't get
burned by the frost (some of the blossoms look like they were) and
that I can try it this fall. We're in zone 3 and can't grow regular
quince so this seems like a good alternative. They have different
latin names-- are they at all related? (flowering quince and fruiting
quince)?
