    @clare.stiles_yki97p7 Thankyou for sharing your photo. The leaves did look honeysuckle related but a new plant to me.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Colours vary depending if a named cultivar. eg pics below
    Here it is fine but in USA it is an invasive pest.

    "Lonicera tatarica readily invades open woodlands, old fields, and other disturbed sites. It can spread rapidly due to birds and mammals dispersing the seeds and can form an extremely dense understory thicket which can restrict native plant growth and tree seedling establishment."

    Think mine could be the Arnold Red! Very deep colour, although not much in the way of scent. Still very pretty and not something I've seen before! Thank you all for your helpful comments! Much appreciated

    There are other red flowered ones  eg Lonicera tatarica Hacks Red.
    No idea how you tell one from another!
