Climbing flower with a nice smell.

Hi, like the title says, but not a great big bush. Something that wants to grow upwards, trail itself around a big post and would like to smell nice too. It also has to be easy maintenance as well, also come up each year. I know its a lot to ask for but I can hope....... Thanks in advance.

Honeysuckle springs to mind, the smell is divine and low maintenance

Jasmine?

Planted mine in a "trough" on a north facing wall and it gorws steadily up the trellis and smells lovely in the evening.

How about Jasmine which I believe is evergreen.

Sorry to be boring, but I would have gone for jasmine and/or honeysuckle too. Possibly a clematis for looks but no scent, but it could possibly be planted alongside the other(s)

How about Trachelospermum jasminoides - (yes I had to look it up) or star jasmine which is evergreen in my garden and is very trainable - perfumes the garden from June - Sept

Yep, that's what mine's called. I can confirm it's evergreen-ness too.

That's my choice too, we have one in our garden and the flowers smell divine!! Apparently it is slightly tender, so the first year I fleeced it, but last year I didn't bother and it got down to -5 here in Kent. All that happened was I lost some of the tips, they went brown and crispy, so I snipped them out in the spring and it looks nonetheworse now. Would highly recommend it.

Thanks everyone! Jasmine wotsit it is then.... that is a great choice as my grandaughters name is Jaszmin, she will be pleased.

Does jasmine need proper support, or can you leave it to scramble up things on it's own?

There is a small flowered ( but attractive - like Mrs G ) clematis with a vanilla perfume Clematis triternata rubromarginata

For honey suckle it has to be Serotina or if you can sneek some cuttings the wild woodbine - Overpowering scent. ROses can be kept under control and there's loads to choose -The English Roses are some of my favourite although I've just planted another Gloire de Dijon by the patio.
