Climber opportunit­y

-

I’ve put an iron railing in my garden, but I’d like it to blend into the rest of the greenery with some foliage – what climbers would you recommend?

Does your climber

A

need to be evergreen, or to provide year-round interest? is it close to a pathway and therfore the ideal place for scented flowers? i love climbing roses, especially those that have autumn hips too like ‘the Generous Gardener’ or ‘Shropshire lass’. clematis are another super option, or if you are looking for an evergreen, trachelosp­ermum jasminoide­s (star jasmine) is a good one with stronglysc­ented flowers, too.
