I am building trellises to screen my compost piles and cold frames. My plan is to cover the trellises with late summer blooming clematis and climbing roses.
I have picked the roses for the trellises , and they are in various shades of pink.
I have bought 10 box store clematis in the past two years. All are alive , but one got wilt last year. They are placed along the fence at the back of the garden.
I would like reccomendations for my trellises. The trellises are l=10ft, h = 9 ft for the first one; l=4ft, h= 9 ft for the second one and l = 8ft, h = 9 feet for the third one.
I would like wilt resistant , large flowering, pruning group 3 ( for sun light on the cold frame in the spring) . I am thinking of purchasing from silver star vinery. I sure would appreciate your suggestions.

reccomendations please
Just e-mail Debbie she will give you all kinds of suggestions...She sure helped me...ask her about Princess Diana....she blooms non stop for me!!;o)
Viticellas (Group C or III) are all wilt resistant and they bloom in late Summer.
Silver Star Vinery is an excellent website for Clematis and if you have any questions, just e-mail the owner, Debbie. She'll be happy to help you out.
I e-mailed Debbie and got lots of help from her . She really went out of her way. I wish I had room for .more.
So glad that you got good advice from Debbie. The "sky's the limit" when growing Clematis. There ALWAYS room for one more! :~)
Hi Shirley...you always gave me good advice too...Thanks for helping me out!!!
Shirley Iyou may be right. I am probably going to order 1 more to go over my shed (as soon as I replace my shed) per Debbies recomendation.
