climbing hydrangea

I wonder if anyyou can help ? 

When I purchased the plant I was told the leaves were suffering due to the late frost we had this year .But over the last month or so it seems more leaves are turning brown on the edges .New growth seems to be around I have just re potted into a larger pot this weekend and it is a south facing wall. Do I need to remove these leaves or should I leave in site for a few more months  ?

    Climbing hydrangeas aren't plants for a pot against a south facing wall. Better in the ground but if that's not possible, get it out of the sun.  Mine does very well in more or less complete shade

    They like moist conditions too. North or east facing.

    North or East should be fine. The soil should be ideally moist. Think more woodland type of soil. Rich crumbly but holds moisture well. Very substantial plants, so think about the foundations it will be growing on. Not ideal for wooden fences.
