Help in identifying a flowering perennial shrub, please!

How many petals? What kind of pink? What soil conditions is it growing in? How thick are the stems?

paradise if you add a profile you could put a photo on.

thanks for the suggestions, will have a go at profile idea! Petals 4, lipstick pink, clay soil, new shoots bearing flowers green and whippy but the thing has a trunk and lower branches maybe 6 inches across...

Thank you so much, glassortwo, have uploaded two photos hope they help.... kindest regards

I am stumped! Looking forward to see the photo.

Photos now uploaded, not sure if you can see them?

I can't. I think you have to click a button saying "visible to gransnetters" or something. If you email HQ, they will help you: [email protected]

I can see them but unfortunatly I don't have a clue as to what they are except that they are lovely

paradise they are gorgeous, but sorry not sure what it is. There will be someone on here that can help.

I think it could be Lonicera Tartarica.....lonicera is Honeysuckle. I've just looked it up in my plant identifier book and this is the closest match.

Yes, Lucid, it does look like Lonicera Tartarica! Google it, paradisemerton, and see what you think.

Hi
I also think it looks like Lonicera Tartarica but does it get red berries later in the year? I believe Lonicera Tartarica has red berries when the flowers die back. Look for the berries and that should help confirm its identity.

Thank you all for your kind help, and YES, lucid, you are quite right. This looks exactly like it. Am off now to read up on it. Thank you SO much. Also that fits with the fact we were told it was a honeysuckle, although it doesn't look much like one to me! Yet it is in the family, and even has that sort of name.

Really grateful! Kind regards from a rather soggy Garden of England...

ps yes it does have little berries, absolutely sure you have pinned it down for me.

Glad to have been of service....not all honeysuckle are climbers. We have 2 different varieties of climbing honeysuckle and a small shrub called Lonicera nitida.
