I have just logged on to see if there were any replies and I am delighted to find all this help. Thank You everyone for taking the time to share your knowledge. I will definitely be following your trusted advice and I will be so excited if it flowers next June.
I followed your advice to the letter and thought you might like to see the results!!!
I am absolutely thrilled to bits. Verdun, you said it would flower in 'June or so' and you were spot on
I will follow the advice regarding pruning when it has finished flowering.
Thank You everyone. It almost got dug up and put in the green recycling bin - but I am so glad I came on here first and got your wonderful advice. I don't know if you will be notified of my followup email so I might drop you all a quick note as I really want to say a big Thank You x

Betty - well done! Kind of you to come back and let everyone who gave advice an update too
They're smashing shrubs, given the right care - as you've discovered!
Enjoy the lovely scent - this year and in future years too.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Wonderful, a happy ending.
It's a pleasure Betty - glad to be able to help :-)
A sprinkling of Fish, Blood and Bone (a slow release organic fertiliser) next spring might be a good idea too.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
looking good!
