    The plant my mum has is getting bit at the top like a climber it's twirled around the supporting cane

    Could it be bindweed granma?  I think that has heart shaped leaves.
    There's a photo in the rhs page link below.

    Yeh  - sounds like bindweed to me too. The leaves are heart shaped, and this is the time of year it's out and about! 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The leaves are the size of my hand they are not shiny and are covered in soft hairs. Sorry I don't think it is bind weed. The leaves are not green now .they are a reddish brown.still trying with a photo.

    Maybe Vitis coignetiae?

    Sounds like it to me too ... a photo would help confirm.
