On Saturday I saw a white-flowered shrub on the far bank of a canal.

I interpret it as having opposite foliage, which eliminates all the
various rosaceous shrubs. The venation pattern of the leaves is wrong
for Philadelphus, or at least the common forms (and more obviously the
flowers have the wrong number of petals). I don't think it's Deutzia
either.

At this point I run out of ideas. Any offers?

It's a rose, no question in my mind
Look at this and see how similar it is

Another even smaller single climber is this

Can I get a prize for getting it right? :-D

Philadelphus lewisii ....I thank you! *bows*

Hmmm. changed my mind .

Now I think it's a shrub rose... maybe 'Kew Gardens'?
