I have just moved house and have a honeysuckle that is in need of help. The leaves are discolouring and drying out. Some of the leaves are becoming distorted and showing black marks, some are turning red or yellow before drying out and dropping. I have never encountered these problems before. Please can anyone identify the problem and advise how I can solve it, or should I just prune it back and hope for the best. I don't know what variety the honeysuckle is. :confused:

Pruning a honeysuckle is best delayed until the spring as any new shoots which result from pruning now would be damaged by frost.

I wonder if might be aphids. Have a close look at the flowers, flora.
