I've had them for about a month and they still look like sticks. I'm not giving up, but since they are a centerpiece in a "formal" vegetable garden (raised beds, with mulch in between, edible landscaping) I really would like something growing up the trellises this year. Soo, is it ok to plant like a annual vine along with the climbing rose in the pots? That way while the roses are doing their thing I still have color on the trellises? Or should I try and hang something on the top of the trellis and let it cascade down? Quote \| Reply \| Report

I'm no expert, but I think that's the case. Maybe you could plant a couple of clematis' in two smaller pots next to the roses and let it trail up the trellis. Just a thought...
