  • Shrub ID anyone please?

    This amazingly scented flower has been in bloom for over 2 weeks now and I’ve forgotten what it’s called.

    the shrub is 8 years old and about 5 ft high by 5 ft wide
    if that helps?

    The flowers are in pairs and smell like honeysuckle

    Is it a Winter-Flowering Honeysuckle, Lonicera fragrantissima?

        It should be pretty easy to grow from cuttings.
        I have a box leaved hunysuckle and it grows from cuttings very easily.

            Have had a LONICERA x purpusii 'Winter Beauty' since 1995. Lovely scent. Mine has suckered.
            Bumble bees on it throughout winter.

            Another one for a strong winter scent is winter box. It self seeds.
