Its flower buds and even shoots can be killed by a late hard frost,
though that rarely kills the plant. It is certainly not worried
by -5 Celsius, even when its buds are beginning to break, but -10
is more of a nuisance.

In the coldest parts of the UK, the only hardy evergreen climber
is ivy, but most people can grow C. armandii if it is reasonably
sheltered from the coldest winds and faces vaguely south.
