Best Wishes Brian.

There are lots of different climbing hydrangeas, some are deciduous some
evergreen, all have white (or nearly white) scented flowers and are self
clinging, all are fairly large plants and take several years to establish
a
root system before growing. This can be speeded up by heavy watering when
newly planted.
Beware of planting near drains!

I got one last year (petiolaris) and potted it up into a bucket-the plant
grew well but this year its slo.o.o.w. Should it be in the ground? Did the
same with a seemannii which seems to at last be growing bigger .
