Is this bindweed?

Hello, I’ve just found this climber at the back of the border and don’t know if it’s bindweed or it’s a plant or weed that has snook in from the next door garden. Maybe I planted it years ago and it’s just decided to go for it. Can anyone ID please? 🤔

    looks  like jasminum beesianum but it's certainly NOT bindweed.  ;)

    just had a look at some pics and   j. Beesianum looks very nice... fingers crossed.

    It can be a bit of a thug. Keep an eye on it and let it know you're the Boss.

    It's a plant I can never see the point of. All straggle and twine and little flower power

    Yikes it’s coming out then. Ive got a clematis armandii around there so don’t want it to take over. Thank you 😀

    J. beesianum versus C. armandii :) That would be an interesting contest
