Yes, I have a largish one on my north wall, its a typical climbing
hydrangea, ie slow to get going then vigorous flowers summer (junish
here) very handsome in flower, make sure it does not dry out when young.

I'd agree with Charlie here - lovely thing but slow to get growing. ISTR
that there's a lot of it on the front of Lanhydrock House in Cornwall.
Charlie?
Something had a good chomp at ours this year, so we're hoping it will
survive!

The form rosea is even more beautiful, (I don't agree with the plant
finder that it is really S. hydranoides rosea it is much more like S.
integrifolia)
