Honeysuckle ‘Goldflame’ not doing too well!?

I have a Honeysuckle - Lonicera x hechrottii ‘Goldflame’. It’s planted against a south facing wall for roughly 5 years. It’s never done too well... powdery mildew every year, sparse leaves and flowering and this years flowers have shrivelled even before flowering. It’s watered well and mulched in early spring. Any ideas? Perhaps a different location?

They prefer dappled shaded areas, so if it's in full sun, and the soil is light and free draining, they may be struggling.
