Ho Ellen,

The most commonly grown honeysuckle in the West is Lonicera japonica,
Japanese Honeysuckle....which grows like a weed........ There are at least
11 species of Lonicera native to the western states....none of which is used
much in landscaping.
Most of the honeysuckles planted here are native to Asia. L. sempervirens
is a US native though and is widely used....and it will also grow okay in
most of the West. For Utah you might want to try L.
utahensis.....deciduous, with white-yellow flowers.
