Vines and climbers utilize different methods to support their vertical growth. It's important to know which vines use which method to provide the correct type of support structure. Generally, these methods are broken down into 4 different catagories: winders or twiners, like wisteria or honeysuckle, where the actual growing stems wrap themselves around a support system. These need a trellis or arbor (or good strong post in the case of wisteria). Tendril vines like clematis or sweet peas have modified leaf stems that wrap around more delicate supports or even neighboring plants. These also need a trellis or arbor or some sort of netted support. Some vines attach themselves to supports by rootlets or holdfasts along the growing stems - ivy, climbing hydrangea and trumpet vines are examples of these. These are much less suited to a trellis or arbors but prefer wider, smoother surfaces like fences, walls or even tree trunks to attach themselves to. The last group are ramblers like most berries and climbing roses. These use their thorns to pull themselves up through other plants or onto the top of fences or walls and kind of anchor themselves. They generally will need help supporting themselves until they get established. They can also blow loose easily in windstorms. Japanese barberry is not a vine but a shrub and I know of no vine called by that name. English ivy is a very aggressive evergreen vine, considered extremely invasive in some parts of the country. It will easily outcompete any other type of vine - it doesn't play well with neighbors:-)) For best success, I'd avoid mixing annual vines with perennial vines and watch out for combining vines that require different pruning methods or that have very different growth habits - one will often outgrow or smother the other. Most perennial vines will take at least 3 years before they become well established and bloom proficiently. Climbing hydrangeas and wisteria are notorious for being slower to establish and it can take as many as 5-7 years before you see much in the way of heavy flowering. Seed grown (as opposed to grafted) wisteria may take even longer.

Herb Lady, that is really beautiful! It's a living fence!! I also use metal pipe fittings, I had originally attached them to my short fence (but they eventually tear it up with the weight of roses so I'm taking it off :(... How does this stand up in high winds? We get hurricane force winds and tornado winds here several times a year so I need to be able to account for them. This is, however exactly what I want on my deck from the ground upwards to the top of the house for a privacy screen! I've not seen those connectors before, and that would be exactly what I need, and I was planning to make a trellis out of galvanized pipe for that (I already have the pipes!). Our land is not flat (which is why I need taller fencing and barriers in some areas for screening) and my neighbors are all up higher than I am, so I'm looking for ways to gain privacy without blocking out too much sun. Thanks! I love your idea!

I would take the person's advice and not wind the roses through the fence as it does make it a problem for pruning. I have had my vinyl fence for probably 10 years and it never needs anything done to it other than a good scrubbing in the spring. A small shrub rose planted in intervals would work great. Roses can sometimes have "naked knees" during the summer months so planting other plants around them will help to hide those times. Another pretty rose would be Pretty Jessica or if you want a deeper pink/red, Munstead Wood also would work (I think--I am in a very different plant zone than you are). This is Munstead looking rather pink on that hot summer day. In cooler weather he is almost a velvet deep burgandy red. A very young Pretty Jessica--not the best picture of her

Virginia, re 'Dr Grill', I can't really recall the leaves or buds, but the blooms I do remember as being distinctly paler/ less vibrant overall than your illustration - a palest ivory or blush white background deepening into delicate washes of warm pinks and yellows like those illustrated. But I'm guessing your illustration may be taken from a European - perhaps French or English source? That might explain the deeper colouring. I may have only/ mainly seen them on warm/ hot days in Australia, in temperatures unknown in northern climes. I would think it could well be the same rose. Wandering the overflowing beds and aisles of teas and other old roses I was often drawn to this rose's particular subtle beauty, but on discovering who he was, was put off by the less than delicate/ romantic sounding name! In that, he instantly dropped a place from top to second level in my mental scale of 'must have'/ perfect roses... fool that I was... FWIW, I believe Adam in Western Australia had one, that may be the same as 'my' remembered Ross Roses 'Dr Grill', but I don't recall if it was one of the selection he brought with him from the old house.
