Honeysuckle help please

Can anyone advise what is wrong with my honeysuckle ? New leaves are appearing healthy but then start to curl and turn yellow. I gave it some seaweed feed yesterday in the hope that it might help, but can anyone confirm what exactly is wrong with it ?
 I can't see any sign of any aphids etc.
Many thanks.

    I struggle with honeysuckle so sympathise. They like partial shade and ridiculous amounts of water in my garden. Give it a really good soaking and see if that helps.

    Thanks @debs64, it's in partial shade and has done really well over the past 3 or 4 years.
    We recently replaced the trellis, but there was no work carried out near the roots as the posts weren't replaced. It did mean it was without any proper trellis support for around 3 weeks, l propped it up against an obelisk plant support temporarily.
    I can't see any damage to the lower stems, although we did have some very windy weather at that time.

    It'll likely just be lack of water @AnniD. It's by far the most common problem with them, along with powdery mildew. I even get it here depending on where the plants are. 
    This year has been so dry here for us too, so I've had to remember to water the new ones, which I wouldn't usually need to do after planting.  :)

    I've been giving it a good soak and it's perked up no end @Fairygirl. Flowers beginning to form  :)
    I take it a cheeky spammer resurrected the thread .
