climbers for a wall and fence

catherine cooke asked 14 years ago

At the back of my back garden I have a 40ft concrete brick wall 4ft in height and I have had a strong sunlap fence erected on posts from behind on top of this wall also 4ft in height and it is in a sunny position. Can you advise me what climbers to use for year round interest but to include evergreens in the mix and to advise me what type of supports could be used on the concret brick wall and fence would suit these climbers. Am I limited to certain climbers as the wall and fence combined is only eight ft in heights. The is a strip of no mans land behind the wall between my neighbour and myself if the climbers went over the wall. I live in the south east of Ireland and I do not mind if the most suitable climbers are slowgrowing but frost hardy.

You can use climbers of moderate growth, such as climbing roses, clematis, potato jasmine, large-leaf ivies , kolomikta vine and honeysuckle.

It might not be wise to plant all of these, but a mixture extends the season of interest and yo can choose which of these you prefer.
