Noted for its shade and poor soils tolerance, Rosa 'Zephirine Drouhin' is a vigorous climbing Bourbon rose with masses of highly fragrant, semi-double, carmine flowers, 3 in. across (8 cm), counting up to 30 petals. Borne on thornless, purplish stems, the blooms are produced in great quantities and almost continuously from late spring to frost. This Rose is such an excellent repeat bloomer that it is worthy of applause. The flowers are perfectly displayed against the semi-glossy rich green foliage, which emerges bright copper-red. Popular ever since its introduction in 1868, this free-flowering heirloom rose is regarded as one of the best and most reliable climbing roses.

Glistening and shining like stars in the sunlight, award-winning Clematis montana var. grandiflora is a very large deciduous climber with single, pristine white flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), adorned with bright yellow centers. Blooming from late spring to early summer, and occasionally later, the blooms are so profuse that they generally cover the trifoliate, dark green leaves. Slightly fragrant, this vigorous vine is perfect for covering a wall, trellis, fence or pergola.
