Your climber is Campsis grandiflora. syn. Bignonia grandiflora or Chinese trumpet creeper. They can be propagated from cuttings, seed or by layering.

Sorry bigbumblebee, it definitely isn't - it's Eccremocarpus scaber - it's supposed to be an annual, but I've had mine now for 8 years ... I grew it from seed and you can still buy the seeds. Comes in red and yellow now too, but I like the orange one the best.

Yup its Eccremocarpus scaber. There are pics and sales of these on GOY.

Apologies folks; I stand corrected. The eyesight ain't what it used to be.
