A vigorous, fast-growing deciduous climber prized for its mass of scented, deep rose-pink flowers and unique bronze-tinted foliage. It belongs to Pruning Group 1, flowers in late spring on the previous year's wood and requires little to no regular pruning.

Produces star-like, 4–6 cm wide flowers in pale to dark rose-pink with pale bars and recurved tips.Many blooms carry a gentle, sweet fragrance, often described as having hints of chocolate and vanilla.Striking three-lobed leaves emerge as a dark reddy-bronze or plum-purple, eventually maturing to a deep purple-green.

Extremely vigorous ("mile-a-minute" vine), reaching an ultimate height of 6–8 metres and a spread of up to 3–4 metres.

Fully hardy and thrives in full sun or partial shade. It prefers its "head in the sun and feet in the shade,"

No routine pruning is required. If you need to restrict its spread, prune immediately after flowering in early summer. Avoid late-season pruning.
