    I hope someone can.  It has just appeared in our hedge this year so I suspect it's a rambler rather than a climber and has appreciated all the rain this winter after drought all last year.   Highly perfumed and the blooms fade almost to white.

    It's one of my favourites ... it fades exquisitely ... an absolute beauty.

    How a plant expires is so important, don't you think?

    Oh absolutely ... I didn't fall in love with hostas until I saw a huge clump, faded to the most beautiful luminous yellow at Bli,ckling Hall ... then I was smitten  <3
