a jasmine lower growing? fragrant too

berarde

I've got one of these but it barely flowers and I think it is semi shaded,  growing over an arch mostly East facing, but under an apple tree to the west. I wonder if it doesn't like its site? It is about 20 years old so maybe it is a bit elderly? It is strong growing and  I cut it hard back (after "flowering") as otherwise it grows up into the apple tree.

 I  wondered about moving it to a South facing wall,, but the vent from the kitchen is about 10 feet high on this wall. I don't want to be up ladders cutting it back, so I wondered if there was a fragrant one not too strong growing. It doesn't look like it after an internet search.

 I'm planning to replace it with a clematis Lambton Park. Is there another fragrant climber that would like the south facing wall, but again not too vigorous

If you have a rather sheltered south facing wall, you could try Jasminum Polyanthum. Extremely fragrant but a bit on the tender side. Not as vigorous as Jasminum Officinale and leaves are more deeper green and earlier flowering. Normally around spring time onwards.

Thanks, it sounds worth giving it a try. It is on the south facing  side of the house , the kitchen on the inside, which I think must give it a good chance
