paul farges is a sprawler, vs a climber. it does climb eventually in a traversing kind of sprawly way. i have some up into some pines like 10 ft. but it does not attach, it needs to lay. and forcing it straight upwards does not work with a true sprawler.

so you are looking for fast foliage coverage and only white blooms? alba luxurians is the fasted growing white i have ever grown, being a vitacella, except for terniflora.

here is paul farges form my garden, blooming earlier this season. has stopped blooming now, but it will start again in a month or so. the bloom is lovely creamy white, almost pale yellow and it is larger than the bloom on terniflora (sweet autumn)
