Looks & smells exactly like the lovely tea rose. But it's a weed! Soon your yard will be covered in it! Root it out! Tear it up! Kill it! Bamzu. Combines the robust unstoppability of kudzu with the hearty immorality of bamboo. It also attracts zebra mussels. Sell your house and get a condo. Dilatory bulbvine.

I’ve got Sweet Autumn Clematis vines right by the porch entrance. We let it grow until it flowers & then cut it to the ground. It always comes back. Right now we’re a little late with that & if we don’t cut it back now we’ll have to wait out the back door! It’s taking over!!!!!!!
