JDog Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 This should be easy peasy for those interested in garden shrubs. This plant has only been in two years and I am training it along wires to cover a north facing brick wall. The flowers are produced on the previous year's growth and new growth starts as soon as the flowers have set. This new growth will be tied in along the wires.

Dave at kelton Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 From the photos it looks likea pyrocanthea. Has it got really nasty thorns and have clumps of bright orange or red berries in autumn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I would say hydrangea petiolaris (climbing hydrangea). The clue being the North facing wall. OB Having just looked at my climbing hydrangea and my pyracantha, I now think it is the latter i.e pyracantha, based on the more shiny leaves and the typical espalier type training.
