    Looks like Tartarian honeysuckle. This is an invasive species and some states have banned its sale. They are easy to grow from seed or from stem cuttings. Spring is a great time to take cuttings. While this article discusses lilac, the technic is the same: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/lilac/growing-lilac-cuttings.htm

    Let's assume you are buying a shrub that is in a container. Dig the hole the same depth as the container but 2-3 times wider. After removing from the container, try to loosen the roots so they will grow outward. If it is horribly rootbound, slice through the superficial roots using 4 equidistant vertical cuts. Again try to loosen the roots. It may be necessary to cut a large X through roots at the bottom of the rootball. Roots that go around and around cause difficulties as they get larger. Try to get them to grow outward. Do not amend the soil unless it is extremely sandy or hard clay but add 2" compost as a topdressing annually. Shrubs/trees need watering their entire first growing season. Water deeply once weekly or twice a week during drought/extreme heat.

    It is honey suckle! Lonicera is the scientific name. This vine can be trained into a shrub like plant, but left completely alone, can overtake massive areas very quickly.

    This depends on where you are located. If you are in the US where we are based, then you will want to go with an American Honeysuckle. These are much less invasive then their Asian counterparts. They come in an array of colors from red, to yellow, orange, pink, and others in between. This article will give you an idea of the different types of honeysuckle: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/honeysuckle/types-of-honeysuckle-plants.htm

    Blooming can depend on variety and age of the vine.
    Growing conditions also effect growth and blooming.

    Aphids can be very difficult to see, but the description you give of the curled leaves is likely just that, Aphids. Treat the vine with Neem Oil.
