Was this identified as a type of honeysuckle?

One of my fav nurseries swears by Winnepeg Parks rose. Guy always pushes those over knockout due to their hardiness. If roses are put in the right condition they will be lush...full sun, moist but not wet soil. I wouldn't suggest boxwoods in front of the roses. The boxwoods have form and structure...use them as a backdrop/fondation. The roses are more informal and should be used in front of them, plus why would you want to hide the color?

My Hero is another good one that has continous blooms.

Pretty much any of the multiflora ramblers (Goldfinch, Aglaia, Ghislaine de Feligonde) are happy to be grown as free standing shrubs. Quite a few large climbers with stiff canes will manage too - Jasmina, Aloha, Meg, Nahema. and also several noisettes such as Aimee Vibert, Gloire de Dijon and Albertine can manage without support. I have also grown bourbons (Blairii No 2, Coupe de Hebe and Madame Pierre Oger without support. True, the luciae/wichurana roses such as Alberic Barbier and Leontine Gervaise will flop about a bit...but can manage perfectly well as ground covering roses and are brilliant at scrambling over banks, tree stumps and such. Finally, some of the species such as soulieana, helenae, moschata will. grow upright and will arch over. I grow mine on a wire frame between posts, lurching and lolling on old vegetable supports or just doing their own thing....but there is an enormous caveat. If you are keen on tidy controlled gardens, this is probably not highly recommended...but for a wilder, less formal, edge of woodland look, many of these large climbers can flail about in abandon. I should also state that it is idleness (in my case) which has prompted me into growing these roses without much in the way of help, and, as an extra bonus, I have also been quite encouraged that pruning, far from being essential, is actually a bit of a waste of time since excessive chopping just seems to encourage more vigorous growth than leaving well alone for several years then having a major haircut once a decade (the older wood also seems to help with support). Again though, this is a style not appropriate for small gardens or neat borders.

Maybe climbing hydrangea? It will really climb though so it might eventually bury the whole house or climb up into the trees. Or, for seasonal color, maybe Boston Ivy that would turn strikingly red in autumn? Clematis? Dutchman's Pipe? Passionflower Vine?You might check out the Vine Section at Sooner Plant Farm to see the named cultivars they have. There's also some honeysuckles with variegated foliage that might look pretty even if they were too shady to flower, though the ones I'm thinking of that have a sort of lemon-lime foliage may be more of the shorter ground cover type. At our place, the best climber/bloomer in heavy shade in the woodland is the native grapes. They don't seem like they would get enough sun to bloom and fruit, but somehow they do. Virginia Creeper also grows and climbs really well in shade, but it is decidous so it wouldn't put on a show of any sort in winter. Here's the vines available from Sooner Plant Farm: Sooner Plant Farm
