Climber recommendations please (now with a pic)
« on: June 07, 2015, 17:22 »
Climber recommendations please, its for a trestle outside the front door that will have chicken wire over it when I have done it, the one thats there now has been there since the house was built (60s) so its rotting away and needs to be replaced, I am going to do it the same as it is now as a replacement its about 1 inch X 1.25 (in old money) it will be about 3 ft wide and about 7ft high, I would like something that has a nice smell and long lasting flowers, and looks really good, and covers from bottom to the top, so it wont have many gaps in it (so you cant see my shoddy work!!!) it faces the sun most of the day and wont be in the shade, I have no clue about flowers and such, so I am asking for your advice I was thinking of (google is a dangerous thing) of Lonicera Serotina honeysuckle climber would this be a good chouse to make, and will it flower for a long(ish) time, thanks all for looking

Trachyspermum jasminoides - evergreen, dense, wonderful scented flower that look like jasmine. Love it - got 5!

Thata sounds a good idea and being in the London area it should do ok. As it flowers mid-to late summer you  could always plant an earlier-flowering clematis with it if you have room or the rose Gertrude Jekyll which can also be grown as a low climber and flowers May onwards with a few more blooms later on.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
