That's the very one Dave.
It's a great looking plant.
Would love to have it as I have an ugly 15ft north facing wall.

I thought it might be a type of climbing hydrangea, but I'm not sure.

Climbing hydrangeas are some of the best plants for a north facing wall and apart from needing a bit of support in the beginning, they cling all by themselves. I'm going to get one for a north facing wall in my back garden.

Could it be a jasmine?

On the ball!
I had a look online and it looks like it likes a south facing wall.
I will still buy 1, though the delivery prices online are scandalous.
I'm going to ask my local garden centre.

Thanks again!

I picked 1 up yesterday in Fota Garden Centre in Cork.
I could plant it on my north facing wall but it wont flower too much so i think ill put it on my south west facing wall.

Here it is:





It cost €13.20:

Here is one I set against my north facing wall earlier this year.
I had to transplant it from another part of the garden so its actually stuck on with a combination of nails and twine.
Im hoping the new growth will latch onto the wall eventually.
