Folks,

I would like to get some feedback from experts here regarding training a Climbing Rose (Yellow Golden Shower 12-14')

over a brick chimney..

My current chimney pic..

What is the best way to train this climber? My first idea was to drill 2 Nails , 3ft apart and connect them with wire and guide the rose stems through the wire. Continue this arrangement to the shape of my interest over the chimney as the rose grows...I thought I could prune any stems that grows too far out of the wire and encourage longer stem....

I also plan on running a Clematis on top of this rose once the climber is established to about 5ft. Any suggestion on appropriate clematis for golden shower rose is also appreciated..

Please advice...

PS: I once posted this on the wrong board..sorry for multiposting..
