Rose advice to cover upsetting extension

[LucyCunninghamStill]

Posting here for fastest replies as off to the garden centre at 10am.
Joined on (semi detached) next door neighbour's rear single story extension is officially finished.
I loathe what it has done to our garden.
We only have a small narrow garden and we are now boxed in by their extension. It's taken our garden from feeling open and with a view of trees to shaded in by their bricks. And although its only single story, it's really bloody high because the slated roof goes all the way up to their bedroom window ledge! It's enormous. I hate it. They've put in bifold doors which when fully opened up sit right up against our garden fence and tower above it, if I stretched my arm over our fence I'd be able able to wave my hand in the shiny new extension, that's how close their bifold sits up against the fence. And they've filled their gigantic roof with deluxe windows. They have their door fully open and windows fully open as we speak and their household noise - Taylor Swift playing, 1 DC playing keyboard very badly along to it, 1 DC having a screaming meltdown as per usual, the mother shouting at them "CHILDREN DON'T DO THAT" all in surround sound stereo flooding into our quiet little family life now that they've built an extension with full width bifolds and an opening roof.
I hate them for building so selfishly and I need to meditate in order to manage my irrational anger towards them. We are a peaceful, quiet little family who treasured our little quiet garden, it was previously my sanctuary where I de-stressed after recovery from a long chemo journey and the challenges of ND DC who are wonderful in every way but who require non stop input and support. They too crave peace and quiet, they are upset by the shrieking and overly loud music and keyboard playing next door as we speak. It sounds like it's all coming from our own house, only we'd never in a million years make this level of noise. And I can't even complain because they are not in their garden they are INSIDE their house but they now have a wide open house with no wall at the back of their house!!😭
Anyway I've cried for long enough and now I want to grow a massively fast growing huge rambling rose to cover the side aspect of their 4 metre extension and their roof up to bedroom window height that we now look at when we're in our little garden.
Our fence is 5 foot high and it extends out 4 metres along our fence and as high as the bedroom windows.
I know I can't grow a rose directly on to their brickwork.
Help me! What is the fastest growing rose i can buy? Is there a rose that will grow a lot even in this summer? And what can I use to support it growing really high without it directly on their brickwork?
I'm so stuck and so desperate to quickly cover this eyesore.
(BTW roses love our soil - seem to thrive in gardens around here.)

Rose(s) grow super fast, David Austin roses are the best source - we had what looked like a tiny stick on a root in winter 2020 and by 2022 it cover a whole fence panel. We have in on grew garden wire. We have jasmine growing up the back wall, also wires.

i’d put up a lattice framework on posts into the ground, you can put up the fake flowered ones just now while your real flowers grow.

i’d add fairy lights and a solar fountain in the lightest part but still within hearing distance of the house so the sun will make it tinkle, to try and make it more a sanctuary.

The wall will offer protection so you could even put a gazebo or fixed perspex over the top so you can use on dull days or put a washing out on a clothes horse without the worry of rain.

on a slight change of subject have you had them round to your house?

id honestly invite the mum round so she can hear how bad the noise from her kid and how the music etc carries and that the neighbours all around can basically hear their every word so they need to be more considerate, on the guise of we can hear all your business si you might want to keep it down.

We have this one

We have bamboo, I don't regret it. It does exactly what it is intended to do; provides a screen. It's in planters so the roots haven't spread. I'd recommend it.

Have you checked they have planning if required or approval under PD?

I second growing a clematis montana with the rose. They flower early, before the rose so will extend flowering season. And they are very quick growers in the right soil (if roses like your soil clematis will do well) you could also add a late flowering clematis too (usually less vigorous). Clematis will grow up the rose.
The montana may need controlling in future years, but you can just hack it back. Tough as old boots.

You could also add a honey suckle for evening fragrance.

Yes, those would be my two rose suggestions.

Climbing rose ‘Albertine’ is a good one.
Also ‘Aloha’ another climber.
Be very careful with bamboo, it can be a bastard!

Rambling rector is great, mine is doing well in a shady damp corner!
For something SUPER fast growing that will cover a (sunny) spot in a summer how about passion flower? they are real thugs but easy to remove if you get bored of cutting it back. I out on in while waiting for a honey suckle to establish itself.

Bring me Sunshine grows to about 8ft and is repeat flowering.

Our New Dawn is a bit weedy. The Blairii on the other hand is a triffid, but only has a short flowering session. We've fan trained a crab apple with roses growing through it. The evergreen honeysuckle is triffidy too

Yes 5ft is not high enough - add trellis to the top. Bamboo is ok in pots but don’t plant it in the ground. A running water feature could be calming and deflect some of the noise. I would also take pictures into a really good garden centre for advice

we have bamboo as screening. It's excellent and provides both visual and sound screening. As long as you contain the roots and buy a type that spreads you'll be fine with it.

But I would also get a new fence

a row of pleached trees has been great for us in a similar situation. Looks really classy and has given us back a secluded feeling in our garden after my neighbour built a 2 storey ‘garage’

If you have space for a long planter put bamboo in it.

Agree. Bleached Robinia Frisia.

Yes, pleached trees would be the best solution here.

Pleached

We have a wall of about 8 weigela shrubs it grows like mad and flowers twice a year. It's gorgeous and has created 'solid' barriers on our garden boundaries. Like cherry blossom season in our our garden, so beautiful.
It has just finished flowering but will bloom again in the next couple of months if we lightly prune it. Easy to take cuttings too and makes more plants. Win win.

No advice on plants but wanted to say I feel for you. I love my peace and quiet. You need to invite one of the parents over and get them to listen to how their noise travels. When they’ve substantially reduced the noise they make, that’s when you get a noise/reducing fence. Hope the garden centre is of use.

It's fine if it's in planters but OP definitely needs to be aware of the risks of bamboo not in planters. It's a huge risk to houses if not contained and would be if planted as close as OP intends.

I have seen presence of bamboo noted on house surveys due to the issues it can cause.

Get a gorgeous David Austin climber they all smell divine which will calm your soul and they are incredibly hardy. You can grow some clematis with it. David Austin climbers are worth every penny.

You have my deepest sympathy OP. As for Roses, look up climbers and rambling.
I would wonder if they have adhered to planning law as their extensions sounds far too close to your boundary actually.
It is about time that immediate neighbours had far more say over proposed extensions that affect their home than they presently do.
They can seriously change peoples lives and cause endless misery.
That or extensions over a certain size should be banned altogether.
They can ruin houses that were once proportionate. I really loathe them. They are granted to easily and blight lots of lives. If you want a much bigger house bloody well move into one.
Why should people have to put up with an endless construction site next door ? The noise alone can impact your mental health. The owners often have moved out.
I do wonder if some sort of compensation payment to neighbours should be made. Upfront.
And planners be made to explain why they are approving an application.

Although a bit antisocial my own answer to noise is to do it back. But even louder. People do get the message.
