This is one of the problems with growing honeysuckle against a wall, there
is a lot of stagnant air so you can get a build up of humidity, just right
for mildew. Some varieties are more prone, and I find the worst to be the
little yellow leafed Lonicera Japonica aureo reticulata.
If you think of it, Honeysuckle is a hedge row plant where it has air
moving
through it

I agree with David the L. japonica types can be dreadfull for mildew (never
says that on the label!) if you want a hardy evergreen scented honeysuckle
try Lonicera japonica 'Acumen' which always has good foliage
