OK..new pics are much clearer. Thanks. I am still stuck. Lets go back to basics! Where do do live. Is this poor specimen in a pot in UK..where abouts?????
Dovefromabove...pretty positive it is not Lonicera sp.
I also wondered if it was a winter honeysuckle The stems are reddish on fragrantissima. The flowers are a creamy white with yellow stamens. Yours has been in the pot for a long time and it is getting no nutrients from the compost. If it is a Lonicera it would be best in the ground as it wants more moisture. A large specimen in the ground would have flowered through the winter into spring. Possibly the flowers could fade to a yellowish colour.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
I live in Manchester, UK. I got it years ago as a clipping from a friend’s garden - it’s been languishing in that same plant pot in semi/full sun ever since without feed and rarely watered. I’m looking for climbers for my garage wall or at least something to attach to a trellis. And I wondered whether this plant would be suitable if I planted it out - hence my request for an ID.
Of course, I could just give it a go and see what happens…
I have stolen pics, enlarged them and have zoomed in very closely . Sadly the format used does not allow me to put them back on the screen for all to see.
It is weird..the dead flower looks just like a dead rose with the calyx folded back. I seem to be seeing lots of stamens.
Crazy cos the leaves do not look right for a rose.
If the poor thing has been in a pot for years, l suspect that the minute it's put in the ground it will be away. It does look a bit honeysuckle like (leaf wise) to me, but l bow to @Silver surfer 's knowledge.
I suggest you plant it @Rallot and when it gets going try a couple more pictures. I'd give it a good watering before you take it out of the pot
