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.)

Yes, I wonder about the legality and would want to check planning permissions etc. with council / surveyor / solicitor.

You say you feel shaded in by their bricks? Roses do much better in the sunshine. They don't grow so well and often get diseases in the shade so need something that is a shade loving plant am afraid.

Sorry about your neighbours. I hate horrible neighbours. If their extension is too close to the boundary, you may have reason to complain to the council. There are rules about boundaries and buildings to stop what you're experiencing.

You have my every sympathy op. We are in a semi and the neighbours started with a sex pond hot tub and its infernal hum. On Friday and Saturday nights we are treated to a splishy splashy "ooh Brian you are norty."

They then built a summer house and use it as a beauty treatment space. Whilst standing at our bathroom sink, you can open the window and be treated to a plethora of clients having various things waxed and plucked.

Next came the summer house at the other end of the garden which has a bar in it. Then a pole so Barb can dance for Brian before they heft themselves into the hot tub for a happy ending.

Then came the karaoke machine.

And now an enormous freestanding pool.

They have no room left in what is a bog standard garden. This is is all mere feet from my garden.

We've planted buddleia, lilac and a fig. We can't see it from the garden but can from any upstairs window and when they have their weekly parties, we can definitely hear them.

Oh and they also have a yappy dog, regular arguments and smoke under my bedroom window.

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.

this is something you can regain control on because it comes under Planning, re:environmental noise and disturbance.

Keep a diary for a few weeks about all the noise and disturbance you're experiencing and contact your Local Authority to ask them to intervene.

Be clear this is not a NDN dispute, it's a request for the LA to exercise their powers to ensure your neighbour isn't causing a disturbance over the allowable / permissible noise levels. You can remain anonymous and it will not only benefit you, it will also help other local residents who might also be suffering from their selfishness.

I would plant jasmine ' it bushes out beautifully, so lots of greenery to cover the wall, it's evergreen, flowers a couple of times a year and smells amazing, and doesn't need deadheading.

Oh Showy, I am v sorry for you - but also that is slightly hilarious (in a 'you've gotta larf' kind of way).
On the plus side, Budleia, lilac and fig sound LOVELY. Maybe they'll attract a swarm of bees who will be inextricably drawn to the warmth and moisture of the hot tub and Brian's nether regions will suffer a v unhappy ending.

Oh dear god this is horrific! Your neighbours sound like selfish entitled arseholes.

Never mind the noise, the openly having sex is just bloody grim. Can you complain?

Also for the op, we have arsehole neighbours who park tons of vans (with constant noise of them being cleaned using a big humming generator) and massive HGV lorries that overlook our garden (which isn't allowed and the council has confirmed this) so we've planted star jasmine in troughs with trellises and also climbing evergreens and some roses.

I try my very best not to think about Brian's nethers. I try my hardest not to think of them at 11pm on a Saturday when the hum of the sex pond does little to drown out the proclivities of said nethers. However, imagining a plethora of wasps gorging on my bushy fig before turning their attention to Brian's loins, is positively delicious.

They don't own their house and I do idly wonder sometimes if the HA would frown upon the work they've done and the business they're running from the property.

But I also don't want a neighbour dispute and they'd know it's me.

I'd use jasmine, as it's smells lovely and grows relatively quickly. Sorry you have horrible neighbours, OP.

Squirt them with the hose when your watering your roses.

One up them by giving your dc a drum kit, let them play in the garden from 8am to 10pm in the summer.

This looks a good idea

Move house!

Huge sympathies OP. This happened to us and we moved. Some people are so selfish and don’t care about anyone except themselves. No advice re plants, sorry. Best of luck.

I am so sorry this has happened to you. It sounds awful.
David Austen website for the roses- they can tell you which one for eg. North facing (we have planted Souvenir du Dr Jamain on N facing and it's lovely, deep, deep crimson and scented.
There's a beauty called The Lark Ascending too.
You might also think of passion flower, winter jasmine for greenery all year round and January flowers, honeysuckle, and clematis.
For this year I'd put in sweet peas, runner beans, morning glory for a quick cover up.

I think for any climber you'll need to raise the height with trellis.

We have Laurels.

Bought online and they were already about 4 ft tall.

They do come out quite thick and need cutting back a couple of times each year.

We also have bamboo. We were careful to buy the ones that cluster rather than spread but I do get nervous about it

Another vote for star jasmine, evergreen it will grow a lot taller than most of the climbing roses recommended here. I wouldn’t recommend anything self clinging in case they make a case it is damaging their extension and make you tear it down.

I feel for you, my neighbour’s unextended house is for sale and everyone (except me) has built these big wide extensions across the backs of their terraces, they’re ghastly. The one on the other side has built a raised patio right next to our back French doors even though they have a big garden with a sunny spot at the back for a table. Dicks.

Clematis Montana is beautiful in Spring. I third this idea of combining it with something else.

Avoid bamboo, or at very least ensure it is not the incredibly invasive kind and plant in pots.

Madame Alfred Carriere white climber. Beautiful and great scent. And grows rapidly.

Clematis Montana grows like a bastard, pair it with Rambling Rector and hope that they will invade next door's extension.

No advice re roses except they like full sun.
It sounds like your neighbours are completely lacking in understanding what is an appropriate sized extension to their home and have given you no thought whatsoever.

You may have to move.

Would you consider putting up a pergola next to the fence? This would give you a lot more privacy and you could grow all sorts of climbers up it.

I just googled 'pergola next to fence' and saw lots of lovely options. Apparently it can be 2.5 metres high with no planning required.

I have heard these are quite fast growing
