Honeysuckle problems

I have a very well established Honeysuckle. For the last 2 years it has had a huge amount of flowers but before they open fully, they turn orange and drop off. The same thing is happening this year. It would be magnificent if they bloomed fully but they are already started to fall off. Any ideas.

Is the ground very dry at the base Kath? They need a bit of moisture to do well so it could be that simple.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I did wonder about that. We had a lot of rain in April and May but it is at the back of a narrow border which contains other plants and maybe the water isn't getting to the back. I'll try watering it really well, in the hope that I can salvage some of the flowers. Many thanks! Kath
