Plant ID help please
A friend has moved house and we're a bit stuck on a couple of plants. The first is outside her back door and has a gorgeous scent.
The second is climbing over her shed. It was quite hard to photo properly. The leaves are pretty big.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help. Many thanks.

The first one is Eleagnus ebbingei
The other is probably Vitis cognetiae
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thank you very much indeed. She'll be delighted to know what they are and that Eleagnus is now on my shopping list as I love the smell.
Fantastic plant, Mine is in full scent right now

Instead of buying a plant why not try taking a cutting from your friends plant
A neighbour cut down 20 foot of my hedge (my side of the boundary and stuck a fence up so I have a big gap to fill and am not the most patient of people ! So I think sadly I am going to have to put my hand in my pocket for this one and get something a bitbigger.
I'm delighted to know what it is. I know I keep saying it but it was such a lovely surprise to be pruning away next to it and get these lovely wafts of smell coming over. Thanks for the help.
