This is a beaut, it dates way back to the 1600’s. It took me an age & a long trek to find one. It was well worth the effort mind👍🏻. It grows over & within a white rambler(seagull) it has a really convoluted name-impress me with your knowledge, what is it’s name?😊

Rocky, that looks like one my Mum bought me years ago called Josephine, sadly it didn't last long the cold winter wind did for it.

I've got a smashing Montana (didn't buy it as one, wrong label) it a white one and has a wonderful vanilla scent, bit of a thug though so gets chopped every 3 years to about 10".

I've bought a few others this year but not decided yet where they are going, so they are in a pot with an obelisk until I make my mind up. The one up the arch is called i think 'Blue moon' it does well, flowers at end of June and then again (sometimes) at the end of August/September. 

Used to have a Tangutica climbing up the side of the house, lovely yellow bells but it is also a bit of a thug so got the chop. Might look for one again as I have more time now a days than when I worked.

That’s a beautiful plant Rocky. I’ve got a blue multi petalled one, simply called Multi Blue, but that’s much nicer.
