That must be the understatement of the year, I have it growing well over
30 ft up in an oak tree. I've known it to grow over 15 ft in a year.
Great in the right place, but over an arch I think not unless it's like
Marble arch.

Like most Lonicera, it can be cut back hard, at least when young, and
so isn't the problem of (say) Clematis armandii.
