Plant id please
A friend of mine has just moved into a new house. Are you able to help ID this plant, it seems to have gone a bit mad and is smothering lots of other plants. It is a bit like a jasmine from looking at the stems, but looks like it will develop pink flowers ?
There is lots of dead wood underneath the fresh growth. How is best to deal with this ?
This is a side view of the plant, how do you deal with that ? If cut it right back, would it grow from old wood?
These are the buds, not looking like jasmine to me, so totally puzzled.
Any advice gratefully received.

Probably Jasminum beesianum but there may be other pink ones
In the sticks near Peterborough
I agree - Jasminum beesianum. I have one ramping over my wall and now it's beating at the window. It can be a bit of a thug so I let it flower as Tetley suggests, then I give it a hefty trim. Sometimes it has a second flowering.
Last winter it got burned and looked tatty by spring so I trimmed it in April. It still flowered, later that usual in July.
Mine was a thug until I ripped it out
Flowered profusely but unattractive habit and not even evergreen
This is great, thank you so much,
