Hello,

I have got clematis Nelly Moser on a north wall and it loves it.

Death's too good for Russian Vine!
We have a very rampant, fragrant honeysuckle that's not particularly spectacular in terms of the look of the flowers. They are small, yellow and cream but lovely when out. It's in a fairly shaded area near the dining room windows and needs hacking back every couple of years.

Thanks everyone. We (she) ha(s)ve now decided. A mixture it is. C. armandii. a yellow honeysuckle (which won't show up as deciduous with the other two) and an ivy. Should give year round interest. The green all year and in early spring the Clematis flowers (would have put in a Montana but again it has no winter interest) followed in summer by the honeysuckle flowers. If it's wrong I'll blame the boss.

My honeysuckle isn't deciduus. It's in full leaf right now. Sadly, I don't know the variety as it was a gift.

Sounds like a lovely selection there.
