    This plant has been cut back and has become tangled up with some clematis, I am trying to discover if this is a climber so I can detangle it and send the clematis one way and this the other or weather to just keep it trimmed and let the clematis climb up the fence.

    They are beautiful when in flower if it is one.. Perhaps have a google & see what you think..

    :thmb: I am sure others will be along as well..

    Hi Marley, Thanks for your swift reply :)
    Now you've posted that picture I'm 99% certain I remember seeing those flowers before. I had to cut that and the clematis right back last year for some fencing work and they've started to grow together in a twisted mess.
    I'll get out now and sort it now (after this coffee and as long as the rain holds off:)).
