Shrub identification please

[milly4]

I've been trying to find the name of this plant.. anyone have any ideas? Also, is it a shrub it would be easy to take a cutting from? I'm very new to this? Please take a look at the photos.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Milly and welcome to the Forum. Your shrub looks like Philadelphus Coronarius - or Mock Orange RHS Plant Selector Results / RHS Gardening

Hello Milly, welcome to the vine.

I've moved your post out of the thread you posted it in, to your own thread - you'll get a wider audience this way!

Looks like Philadelphus or Mock Orange to me too. Is it highly scented and does it smell like orange blossom?

[taff]

um...questions at the ready...so...is mock orange jasmine or not? I keep finding images of white jasmine, that look exactly like this, and I've confused myself now.
oh, it's ok, just read that it's oftne confused for it because of the smell...
hmm...a handy addition to the list of plants ot buy I think

I like the common Mock Orange - not the golden one. Knock out perfume, very easy to grow and from cuttings too, though its been a while since I took any. Its a shrub rather than a scrambler like jasmine and the flowers are larger.
Go on, you know you want too.....

No, jasmine is something else. It's that very heady scent that wafts around Greek/Turkish seaside resorts. White flower, but more waxy looking flower. Philadelphus is finer petalled and is called Mock Orange because it smells like orange blossom, but isn't. Jasmine is very sweet, but floral not citrussy. I realise I'm rambling now, so I'll shut up.

Philadelphus, not jasmine.

It is a philadelphus of some sort - take cuttings of non- flowering tips - they strike fairly easily.

Philadelphus ~ it's just now come into flower (beautiful scent, even I can smell it with my defunct taste buds an' all)
