        Looks like a Virginia Creeper: Parthenocissus quinquefolia | Virginia creeper/RHS Gardening
        Beautiful colouring at this time at this time of the year, just be aware that they are very vigorous not to say rampant before you take any cuttings! (Which I think would be something for next year, but you will find instructions in the link above).

        PS Scrungee beat me to it!

              I had one of those on the end of my shed. Green in summer and red in Autumn. Very nice. Mine wasn't' trained properly so it ended up a matted mess under at the top. I managed to keep up with though so If it were trained properly it shouldn't be a problem.

                      @Snorky85 if there are some low-lying stems leave them attached to the parent plant-dig out a little grove to put them in, cover over with soil then pop a wire peg over them to keep them in contact with the soil or I've even place brick on them and they have rooted by next year- you have two chances that way of getting successful cuttings ....like you say it can't hurt :snorky:
