                  I think we have found it @Fern4 @Sheal @Lolimac

                  Sheal I will have a good look at the one you posted as it may be they have only changed the name slightly
                  • Species'Venosa Violacea' is a distinctive, medium-sized deciduous climber. Single open flowers up to 10cm in width, with 5-6 sepals are white, deeply edged and veined deep-purple with dark purple and white stamens. Flowers midsummer to early autumn

                  this photo from another forum and is grown in Wales so thanks Hywel.

                      I think too vigorous Fern , what colour are you after for a very large pot ?
                      Guernsey Cream is ideal as it flowers low down.
