Jasmine vine is a climber, meaning it typically grows upwards by clinging to supports or structures with its twining stems. It uses these structures to reach sunlight and grow vertically.
I don' know your bitterleaf, but true climbers have suckers or other mechanisms to support their weight. A creeper on the other hand, generally entwines itself around some suitable erect structure.
