hardy in the UK. This is a semi-evergreen (in a sheltered spot) to
deciduous variety that bears lovely, delicate pink flowers all over the

variegated yellows, pinks, and greens, as the new leaves emmerge,
turning to lush green in summer.
The strong JASMINE FRAGRANCE of this climber can be used to great effect
on pagodas and archways - trained overhead, you will be stopped in your
tracks by the very strong perfume of the hundreds of flowers that can
cover the Jasmine in summer.5L
