I have had a quick look, but can't find a name I recall, but ours is a very classic looking honeysuckle. I bought another one for a different arch which is a vivid orangey yellow - lovely bright flowers, but the scent is nothing to write home about. And it hasn't grown as well or as quickly as the first one either. But I like the colour. I wonder whether the old favourite varieties grow more strongly than the newer developments?
clematis care, now thats a minefield for anyone to learn
Prune , depending on group Apply Blood fishband bonemeal and multch in spring, water in each 2 weeks with a soluable general fertiliser. Start of May change this to tomato feed every 2 weeks and stop this feeding programme when flower buds start opening
Oh while I'm here, should I pot on into larger tubs before arches arrive in April? GC said not as will disturb them if moving twice, Just wondered what you all thought.

Wouldn't bother MrsG. They'll be fine till you're ready to get them in
Hope you enjoy them. They're such beautiful plants when they get going. I intend adding a pergola just to give me room for more of them
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
