    A friend of mine has this in their new garden, it was left by the previous owner. Looks a bit scary, dont it.

    Rosietu, I dont think it is canary creeper, I'm beginning to think it might be some kind of rose, but it must be a novelty type if it is.

    Pete that was my though looking at the pictures. But the number of leavs on the leaf shoots were more than I have seen even on some of the older species rose. But thats what it looks like

    Are there any pictures of the flower?

    Anyone got any ideas on this one, I understand it has grown from the ground, this year and is now about 8ft tall.

    My goodness - I have no idea. What an unusual leaf shape, and the little leaflets and colour at the junction - I have never seen the like. The leaf droop reminds me of the cassia, but cassia ain't nothing like that.

    Does it do anything else but grow up - and bigger question, if not, does it stop :D

    Its not in my garden Fran, Its in the same garden as the rose. What else it does, I dont know, might even be killed by frost each year, which sounds possible. Buhinia has been mentioned due to the leaf shape but I dont think so.
    Ladybird what was the name of your mystery plant then? [​IMG]
