You are all very knowledgeable so I know that someone out there knows what these vines are! They were here when we bought the house 19 years ago. They grow up the lattice work (and all thru the yard!) and have the most beautiful pink bloom. I have tried finding the name but can’t…have seen some that looked pretty close but not exactly!!
Thanks for looking
Mary

Resembles a variety of Clematis I know of as the Belle of Woking. We use to grow Clematis at our place before we moved.

Google "Varieties of Clematis" and see what you get. HTH.

I think the "flower" looks somewhat like them but the leaves are not!!??????

I do have the purple Clematis and will post a picture of them here in a bit!

And the leaves are more like a passion flower vine, but not those flowers! Is it fragrant? There are jasmines with that sort of leaf.

Different varieties of Clematis have different foliage. Differing shapes and color foliage.

EDITED: Please bear in mind I am not adamantly stating that what you have IS Clematis, just telling you they resemble some Clematis.
