Why are my climbing honeysuckle leaves turning brown and shrivelled?

Our Advice:

Your plant has powdery mildew, which Honeysuckles often have by mid-summer. You can spray the plant with Fungus Fighter Plus from SBM/Bayer or Fungus Clear from Scott's. This type of mildew often indicates that plants are not getting enough moisture, so keep them well watered, and mulch them with garden compost.
