Default Orange honeysuckle

Took the car in to have the insurance estimate done and in their car
park are the usual run of the mill shrubs and amongst them was a
fantastic Orange flowered Honey suckle, I've looked on line and find
Orange Honeysuckle (Lonicera ciliosa), but is described as having
small flowers, and the petal formation is different.
See pics,

Not as good as they could be as I had to take the flower to the camera
so about 45 mins without water in the car.
It flowere look almost like Montbretia flowers.
I am trying cuttings, failing that I will be back for seed.

Without a doubt that is Lonicera x tellmaniana a cross between Lonicera
sempervirens and Lonicera tragaphylla, not a very strong scent but wonderful
colour and loves a shady place. Fully hardy.

Cuttings are easy (internodal)
