    Someone on another thread asked for something similar and I think it was Buzzy Lizzy suggested Trachelospermum jasminoides (star jasmine). Apparently it is scented and evergreen.

    Thanks for all the suggestions -

    I've heard evergreen clemaitis can look a bit sorry for themselves in the winter, so probably ruling that out

    Jasmine needs frost protection, not sure if I'm willing to get outside and give that much attention in the cold!

    Hydrangea is an interesting option but I don't think the soil is suitable and I don't have much space to dig around

    So rambling roses or honeysuckle image  Leaning towards honeysuckle, but which is easiest to care for?

    This jasmine is hardy, it's not the same as the one you buy in the supermarket. Have a look at this description from the RHS:

    I went to the garden centre yesterday and saw a trained Ceanothus that was just perfect image  I'm putting the clemaitis in the ground and putting them in the ground today - more pics later!
