ID needed - what honeysuckle is this?

[mothhawk]

I've been naughty. This morning I was out for a walk (early - 6am-ish) and spotted a lovely honeysuckle growing as part of a hedge along a footpath. I couldn't resist it, I had to have a few cuttings.

The honeysuckle was big, stretching about 5 feet down the length of the hedge and I think it's a shrubby one, not a climber, though it was hard to trace it back through the rest of the hedging.

So does anyone know what variety it might be? It is very similar to winter flowering honeysuckle with the same white/yellow flowers, growing along the stem, rather than at the ends, but the flowers and leaves are big like regular honeysuckle.

No, that's not it Thelma, it flowers along the stem, not at the end.

Ah, but on the same website (thanks), I found it

After more goggling I found it's considered an invasive species in the US and so now I'm in two minds whether I should grow it, but the RHS site makes no mention of invasiveness.

It's so lovely.....

Flowers on that are beautiful, I'm sure with a hard prune annually you would keep it in check.
