I have had it 5 years so it must be with the winters we have had -10 , this grows on the trellis so has to fight it out with jasmine ivy honeysuckle , my mate thought a bird had done somthing !! on the leaves , how somepeople think I never ever thought that , I will re-serach how to propergate. Burncoose advertised on here £20 but they have the old name not the new.

It has red pinky flowers as well
