I was given a jasminum polyanthum as a present last year. It has been
outdoors all summer, but now I don't know what to do with it, as I have
no conservatory. Does anyone have any idea whether there is a good
chance it will survive in the ground here in Sussex, on a Western wall,
perhaps with a bubblewrap around it during the worst of the winter?
Or is too hot indoors better?

I would try against a west wall, if you bubble wrap, put some canes in to
keep it off the plant and allow air circulation, Also some loose mulch
around the base of the plant. Mine is not 100% happy outside as it is frosty
here and I do not have a good wall for it but it has never been actually
killed and reshoots after cold winters from the base (you of course lose all
the flowers when that happens)
