Help with identifying plant needed.

Would someone kindly identify this climber for me? It has been doing well for several years, surviving storm damage and all sorts. I am kind of fond of it.

Last summer it got very sickly looking, with lots of leaf browning and dropping. It has survived the winter and I would like to try to help it avoid disease this year. TIA.

 

I would need a close up of the leaf

does it flower and when and what colour

does it drop all it leaves off over winter

when was this photo taken

roughly what part of the UK are you

 

I've attached the nearest thing I have to a close-up at the moment- hope it's sufficient.

It flowers, small white flowers. It is evergreen. Photo was taken late last May. I'm in the south-east. Thanks for your interest.

 

we need @Silver surfer to have a look , I dont know

 

First thought was Honeysuckle,second thought Hydrangea Petiolaris

 

I thought honeysuckle
@Tom_Thumb have you pruned it yet and do you feed during the spring ?

 

Yes it's a few years old and has been pruned somewhat. I lost quite a lot of it last year due to wind damage. It does get the odd liquid feed and I also work some grow more into the soil in spring.

 

If not honeysuckle perhaps clematis early sensation or armandii snowdrift both evergreen white flowers.

 

Thanks for the pointers, after a bit more research I'm thinking it might well be Honeysuckle (or Lonicera Japonica to give it it's posh name).

 

Hi TomThumb, Your honeysuckle could well be Lonicera japonica 'Halliana'...that's the best known evergreen one. Hopefully the weather conditions will be different this year and it won't suffer the same problem. If it should, and you have a more sheltered spot to give it, it strikes very easily from cuttings All honeysuckles are greedy plants for food and water....

 

Looks like honeysuckle to me too.
