Can you recommend a climber, please.?

I have a large area of concrete with a wood-panel fence behind, facing South, and would like to grow some climbers from pots, e.g. clematis/roses. Can you recommend any particular ones which don't mind being in pots, please.

Can you recommend a climber, please.?
I really like Bouganvillea as well. I have one that grows on a small trellis from a pot and it grows quickly and blooms constantly. Good for mild weather areas. You can find this plant in MANY colors... variegated, non-variegated.. thornless or thorned. Be careful with the thorned varieties as they can cause a mild rash in some people. But these are great climbers that are very beautiful plants!
Reply:It sounds like the clematis roots would get too hot. Roses would be great if watered and fertilized. Joseph's Coat is an interesting one. Banks is a yellow, Cecile Brunner is a soft pink that goes nuts. Don Juan and Blaze are reds. Campsis or trumpet vine would probably thrive.
Reply:Where in The country are you? If in the south clematis will work, as will Don Juan rose or perhaps and old garden climber. I use bougainvillea. But if to cold will not work. Confederate Jasmine works and so will passion vines if pot is large enough. Make sure you have good drainage and add some time release fertilizer to soil to help it along. Abraham Darby is a good rose to spread along lattice although not a climber. I had a few that were 8' until hurricanes blew the building away they were on. Night Blooming jasmine will also work well. Good Luck in whatever you decide. Go to an independent garden center and ask them. They know their plants and you may get better quality then box stores.

Theres three to be going on with.
Reply:a fast growing creeper that i have in my garden is a variegated potato plant.it has white flowers and does not shed in winter.
Reply:Clemetis are so temparemental I would not advise them. They die off for no reason whatsoever.



Why not try a Virginia Creeper, they are wonderful all through the summer and the colour they turn to in Autumn is astonishing.
Reply:I would avoid clematis as they thrive best with their roots in the shade (deep underground) and their heads in the sun. There are many patio roses available at garden centres that would be just what you are looking for (and already planted in containers).
Reply:Well, you could have annuals like morning glories which bloom every morning and then intersperced with them, pots of moon vine which bloom at night and are fragrant ...
Reply:Clematis are fine, but don't let them dry out. Choose one that can be cut down each Spring (what's known as a Group 3) like a viticella.



Roses can be fine too, but remember that both roses and clematis are hungry plants. They like fertile moist soils. So will benefit from re-potting regularly and a Spring and late Summer feed with something like Growmore or some composted manure.



All potted vines are prone to Vine Weevil attack, so treat the pots in the Autumn with a Vine Weevil killer. Provado make a good one that's available broadly across the UK.



You could also try a potato vine (Solanum crispum), passion flower, Chilean glory vine or even a grape vine or a fig, both of the latter like restricted root growth.



Roses are much harder to keep healthy in pots than clematis. If you do go for clematis make sure it's in a nice deep pot and plant it deep to allow re-growth in case it's hit by wilt.



Why not borrow a book from a friend or local library that has some climbers in it with more info. Just remember that healthy soil or compost should result in healthy plant and a bigger pot will dry out more slowly than a little one.



I'm sure you'll find something you'll enjoy.

Reply:You left out a gardening zone, that would help a lot. Regardless in pots, if perennial, you need a unheated garage or somewhere to keep them from getting colder than 10 degrees above zero if you want the roots to survive.



The Sweet Autumn clematis can be cut back to a foot from the ground and regrow 10' or more each year. It is probably the most tolerant clematis and grows quickly.



Roses, maybe the William Baffin.



You need BIG pots.



Annuals might be a good idea for you. Morning glories are ideal if you have hot weather, but they do better in low nutrient soils.
Reply:I grow clematis in the north east and their in pots.. Nowt wrong with mine.. As long as you keep snails/slugs off them..

The purple ones are the best in my opinion..

Why not try a kiwi?? I've got a miniature one in a pot.. It's cool..

Nee fruit yet tho.. lol..
