Have had this for ages, cant remember how I acquired it, I always called it
Chinese honeysuckle, but have been put right on that! Its not a very fast
grower. That's all I can say about it! it doesn't flower, I'm having to tie
it to the arch, but it is quite pretty.

I don't think this is quite enough for an identification ;-)

Googling on "Chinese honeysuckle" suggests the name is used for Lonicera
nitida (bush with small green leaves which used to be popular for
hedging) Lonicera japonica (another of the climbing honeysuckles) and
Weigela 'florida variegata'
just for starters. You could Google images of these and see if any
match yours.

If you want us to try to id, then at the least a description of the
size, shape, hairiness etc of the leaves would be helpful.

Unless, of course, you tried to post a photo to the newsgroup, which
will have been stripped off as this is not one of the few newsgroups
which allow photos.

It's generally helpful to provide photographs of flowers, as well as
foliage. However in this case it looks like Lonicera japonica
'Aureoreticulata' (golden net-veined Japanese Honeysuckle).

yes, thank you as well (almost right, Chinese/Japanese, at least I got the
honeysuckle part right! It has never flowered for me, I have had it
for at least 15 years, its not very rampant either! but it is very pretty
and unusual.

I think I may try to take cuttings from it, is now about the right time?

They will occassionally flower but the flowers are very small and you are
more likely to smell them rather than see them, you are fortunate to be
able to grow it well as here it becomes an unsightly mess with mildewed
leaves
