Can anyone help identify a creeping, strangulating weed we have? It is
totally entwined around rhododendrons and other bushes, and is VERY
resistant to eradicating. Maybe if I knew what I was dealing with I could
try a more scientific approach than hacking at the damned thing G

Thanks for any pointers.

I'll go with the flow, honeysuckle it is! Thanks for the info. Just how
invasive might this get, I cut it back to the ground in the spring, it's
now covering a large percentage of a 50 foot row of bushes, and although
it's entwined around everything I must be honest and say that it doesn't
SEEM to be doing them much harm...

Thanks again.
