New England ArborsChoosing climbing beauties
Roses. Sky-blue morning glories. Purple wisteria. These and other non-fruiting vines are best for growing on garden architecture, as fallen fruit is messy, slippery and attractive to insects. And make sure that the plants and shrubs you choose agree with your climate; otherwise, your arbor or trellis could become an eyesore instead of an attraction as it battles the surrounding flora. When choosing vines, consider plants and shrubs that shed their leaves in the fall and let the winter sun shine through.

Spirited climbing vines like trumpet creeper, cross vine and grapevines all lend themselves well to growing on arbors, which can carry the heavy weight of cross-bracing and vine mass. Adding fragrant white jasmine will create a beautiful texture of both color and aroma.

Whether used as screens or to support vines on buildings, trellises work well in both formal and informal designs. A trellis with mandavilla or clingers like ivy give the illusion of vines growing next to your house, without causing the worry that the moist environment created by the clinging vines may affect your walls.

Whatever plants and shrubs you choose, it’s important to be imaginative and adventurous. In your garden, the sky really is the limit.
