It is a climber with small, single red flowers, tough stems,lanceolate leaves and winds its way up through other plants to 5 ft high at least, and is spreading around my garden.
Hope this works - it is my first time!

Hi and welcome echidna. Your climber is Jasminum beesianum. You lucky thing - its gorgeous!
p.s. definitely not a weed.
Hi Ladybird4, Thanks so much for your reply. I had better not call it a weed! I have no idea where it has come from but it is certainly appearing all over the place in my garden!
Well you are definitely lucky
did you get rid of the plant, as I have the same plant and the same trouble, would like to know how to clear it
You just have to trace it back to the roots and dig it out if you can or cut it off.
It's easier to disentangle it when it's dead.
I grub about under the roses every now and then and cut it off at soil level.
You need to be quite vigilant as it sneaks up very quickly.
It's a type of Jasmine

Sorry, what is it? I don't seem to have Ladybirds post.
nor me fidgetbones . I've just checked the handy ignore section to see if I accidentally dropped her in there. But no.

There's either something wrong with the site or Ladybird4 has left as all of her posts have gone.
