Just got a greenhouse off Freecycle. My plot backs onto the canal and I have been told that the kids can be a little... rambunctious, throwing stones over the fence and whatnot. My plan is to place a piece of trellis that I have (about 8/9' by 6/7') between the greenhouse and the canal, thereby screening it friom view (I hope)

The sun comes across the other side, so it won't be shaded.

What do I grow up there though? I'm thinking a climbing rose, trouble is, I'm not really a big fan of roses and if I did, it would have to be heavily scented. Any recommendations? How many plants would I need?

If not, what?

By the way, I am not sure if I have posted this on the right board, sorry...

I've got a nice evergreen clematis growing up a mesh fence.  Screening all year round.

Me too Ice They look especially gorgeous in spring and are easy to care for, no pruning etc. Can look a bit tatty in deepest winter though, and they do need tying in. You can also try honeysuckle to encourage the buzzies

Sweet peas but they aren't permanent.  If you like Ivy, I hate it find it invasive but was amazed that a gardeners world prom was saying why not grow this.  Passion flower.  Wisteria but think takes ages and never got mine to flower.

Ooh.. honeysuckle, clematis, or sweet peas for me every time!  Such a nice scent to each of them!

Honeysuckle sounds like a winner...

[Ice]

Yes, I don't have a clematis, I have an evergreen honeysuckle and it would be ideal screening.

Have a look at this one -
 the Japanese honeysuckle is a variable species with some outstanding forms, such as 'Halliana'. The flowers are pale cream, turning darker yellow just before they fade, and appear from mid-June to late November. Generally evergreen, unless there's a particularly cold winter. The wild form, var. repens, has bronze foliage and darker flowers. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has given 'Halliana' its Award of Garden Merit (AGM)

Put up more trellises then

I grew Lonicera Japonica at my last house and will grow it again here, and its a lovely evergreen climber rambler, wonderful scent etc but to do it justice it need a harsh pruning every April, and that would then not be much use as a screen until it grew again.
