I recently bought a house(October) that has a beautiful honeysuckle bush in the back right against the house. It was in bloom when I purchased the house (I remember smelling it!!!), and is in bloom again. It looks as if some of the vines are dying (they're turning brown). What should I be doing with these? Also, this particular bush has become quite large and even w/a trellis (a rather flimsy one put up by the previous owners) it is leaning over. I would like to cut it back and get the existing trellis out to put a much more sturdy and decorative trellis in. What do you sugguest?
