Name that plant, part 2

[kake]

Further to my previous post, I have another batch of plants that I hope someone will be able to help me identify.

[IMAGE: A plant (no flowers) in a pot with long green leaves. Some of the leaves towards the top are a pale reddish colour, while others are yellowed and dead at the ends. There is moss growing on the stones that have been used to cover the soil in the pot.]

Bonus questions! Should I worry about the reddish leaves? Should I take the yellowing ones off? Are the reddish ones in fact on their way to becoming yellow ones? Should I get rid of the moss, or will the plant happily coexist with it?

I also have a closeup of the leaves.

Are the dead bits normal for this time of year? Should I take them off or just leave them?

Is this another dianthus?

Does anyone recognise any of these? As previously mentioned, I live in London, UK, if that helps. I would really appreciate any advice!

I agree with the "it's a honeysuckle" ID for the climber - given that you live in the UK, it's unlikely to go feral and take up your garden, so you might want to change the soil and offer a better (less windy and more sunny) position.

Juniper should NOT have those dead branches - transplant is needed soon! You might also want to check the soil consistence: mine is wild (therefore naturally selected for survival against all odds) and growing in about three spoons of dead-leaves-humus over a rocky ground.

Thank you! I'm not sure there is a less windy and more sunny place in my garden, unfortunately.

Is changing the soil functionally equivalent to feeding it, as chalcopyrite suggested I do? Or are you concerned about pathogens rather than nutrients?

I will repot the juniper as soon as I can get something to repot it in.
