    A few months ago I posted photo of a new cutting, asking for help with ideas. The cutting was very young and not easy to identify then. However, now it has grown a bit and has developed pink flowers. Someone said it might be a honeysuckle. So, is it?? If not, what else might it be??

    Also, if it is a honeysuckle, is it hardy etc and can I grow it as a permanent bushy shrub?? Maybe keep clipping it??
    Thanks in advance
