I think this is the shrub variety of honeysuckle, but I am posting the question here too (just in case)
Thanks in advance for any help!

Can anyone help with the name of this honeysuckle?

OK! So I'm going back a bit on this post but I haven't been here for a bit.
That is Lonicera sempervirens. I
I've always just called it scarlet honeysuckle. It's a vine but an older one will pile up like a shrub. It starts super easy with layering, cuttings or hardwood cutting in winter.
It's not aggressive like the Japanes honeysuckle and doesn't have any scent but the hummers love it.
Lucy, that's what you have.
