As mentioned looking for a large leaf climbing jasmine, everyone has a different opinion please help.
Answer: Hi Gionanni, I don’t understasnd your question as it is too vague. The normal Jasmine, J. polyanthum which has pink buds right now is a terrible weed in Sydney. At a wild guess, the larger-leafed jasmine (which is not a climber, but which has stunningly-perfumed flowers) is Jasminum sambac ‘Grand Duke of Tuscany’. It is very rare in nurseries, but you might Google “buy Jasmine Grand Duke of Tuscany”. Good luck. Don.
