Climber for front of this house?

[MrsCremuel]

It’s north east facing so only gets sun early in the morning. There is paving along the house so I would need to plant something in a box. What would do well? I’m a novice. Unsure if I want to cover a large portion of the house or just frame the doorway.

Climbing hydrangeas do well in shade but I am not sure if they are ok in a pot. Or you could try a rose?

Personally I love passionflower as it grows quickly, you can train it /prune it to shape and the flowers are so unique. Plus year round green coverage. 😊

Thanks both, I’ll give passionflower a go! I do love the flowers on that actually

@Geneticsbunny would any climbing rose do?

Is that not grass to the side, I’d do wisteria or apple blossom clematis

Rose 'madame Alfred carriere' apparently best for North East facing- I've planted one but only in Feb so too early to report back- it looks healthy but no flowers yet!

Good spot. Yes plant into the grass.

@MrsCremuel you will need a rose which will be ok in shade. If you have a look on the David Austin website they have a section of roses for shady spots.

Another vote for Mme alfred carriere, good in shade, smells lovely and few thorns, but I don't think it would be happy for long in a pot.

Personally I would cover the whole thing in Boston Ivy, but then I would cover anything that doesn't move in Boston Ivy...it would have to go into the ground.

I don't advise wisteria with little sun, it's likely to not flower much.

I had a rosa Maygold (Maigold) in shade in my previous garden, which grew very well; it is an early bloomer, around mid-may with a heavenly scent, so you may want to follow with another flowering climber (in my case a clematis and a honeysuckle (lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina').
