MY QUESTION: does this plant fruit in the northern climes , and being out in the open?

Old picture of flower for Id pl. potato vine. did the flowers have a faint scent? Thanks for the identification. Sorry, but I don’t remember distinctly now about the fragrance. Is there any purple/lavender variety in potato vine ? some south american ones have nice light purple shades mixing in the white. that’s what we used to run into, occasionally, in california napa valley but that was before digital era i dont have pictures handy
