Due to rocky soil, Honeysuckle was planted against trellis and fence with roots in a small trench. Earth was pile in front and on 2 sides. All was enclosed with boards & a 5 gallon bucket placed in the raised bed. When 5 gal bucket is filled with water, do plants roots go deeper? It is watered almost every day. New foliage growing but no blooms.
Plant roots will, actually, travel deeper in search of water. If the top remains just a little dry in between watering, it will force roots to seek water from deeper portions in the soil. Watering too frequently can create a very shallow root system.
Now, as to why it is not flowering... This is more than likely due to there being too much nitrogen in your soil. This can happen when using slow release fertilizer. There is no control over the length of time that the nitrogen will be released.
You can correct this by adding fertilizers high in phosphorous and potassium, but that have no nitrogen. This will raise the pH and make these elements more available to the plants.

I have forgotten the name of this Honeysuckle but it will be Red in colour and one of the most fragrant.I planted it two years ago when it was 6 inches! From the photos can anyone tell me what is going on? It bloomed last year but with very tiny flowers.
There are many varieties that have red flowers, so it is difficult to say the type you have.
Yellowing leaves can be caused by disease, lack of moisture, leaf scorch or even Scale insects.
Apply a balanced 10-10-10 all-purpose fertilizer in spring when the honeysuckle starts to produce new growth. Use 1 tablespoon of 10-10-10 fertilizer for every 1 foot of height of your honeysuckle. For example, a 3-foot-tall honeysuckle should receive 3 tablespoons of fertilizer.
Water the honeysuckle immediately after applying the fertilizer, using enough water to moisten the soil to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. This helps carry the fertilizer's nutrients down to the plant's roots and also minimizes the risk of nitrogen burns.
Don't fertilize your honeysuckle more than once a year because this may cause the plant to produce lots of leaves but few flowers.

My 3 year old honeysuckle has declined each year. How to revive it to a fullness and blooming plant
This sounds like you need to apply a fertilizer. I recommend an all-purpose at least twice a year. It would also help to add dolomitic lime to keep the pH of the soil stable. Here is a link to more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/honeysuckle/honeysuckle-vine-care.htm
I have a number of these plants around the garden, most likely spread by birds as I've never planted them. About two months ago I noticed one was not typically turning red. Instead all the flowers are white, not just the lead ones. The bracts and berries have remained green. Is there a different variety?
Yes, there are several different types. Yellow and white, and some pink are non-native, invasives that spread just about everywhere.
What you are seeing is likely a cross between your plants, and other wild varieties around.
For the sake of your ornamental vine, you should remove all of these wild seedlings and established plants. They will outcrowd and outcompete your vine, killing it off completely within a few years, likely.
please recommend a tall, fast growing honeysuckle bush for a privacy hedge
