Honeysuckle recommendations?

Hello all. Can anyone recommend a best variety of honeysuckle for our area?

I'm looking for one which would be consistently hardy, as big as possible, and as strong a fragrance as possible, and for as long of a blooming time as possible. Is that asking for too much?

I have one, but have no idea what variety it is. It came out of one of those super cheapy catalogs we all get. At my zone 5B Fort Collins house, this one grows well, to about 7 or 8 foot tall, and has small fragrant blooms, but about one out of 3 years it dies back to the ground. I think it was doing great this winter, until we had that wicked cold snap a week ago. Two nights in a row of -20 seems to have done it in.

What honeysuckle are you all growing and how is it doing?
