A vigirous scented beautiful rose that will grow on top on my dry stone wall?
Ive got a really ugly concrete wall above a lovely old dry stone wall. I'm wondering if I could get a lovely old climbing rose to grow over the awful wall. Problem is that it would have limited earth for the roots, olny what I could pack between the two walls. If not a rose, could anybody suggest anything else that would grow here to cover the wall?
Many thanks
Vines are terrific for visually softening solid structures such as stone walls, arbors, trellises, and sides of large buildings. Some vines will climb on their own and cling to surfaces, while others twine their tendrils on structures and may need to be trained. Vines may be valued for their flowers, fruit, foliage, or bark.
Actinidia – Hardy Kiwi Vine – Valued for their edible fruit and interesting foliage. Female varieties provide fruit if a male pollinator is present. ‘Artic Beauty’ is a variety that does not fruit, but has interesting variegated green, white and pink foliage. Needs at least a half of day of sun. Medium grower.
Ampelopsis – Porcelain Berry Vine – Interesting medium to fast growing vine. Valued for its small multicolored fruits in late summer.
