We want some flowering vines to climb up the corners of the Pergola. On the South East corner I have a Scarlet Red Sun Parasol Mandevilla.
It is flanked by by two climbing New Dawn roses. These bloom with a profusion of pale pink roses in the early spring then repeat bloom until fall when they put on a second wave of blooms. The New Dawn climbers were grown from cuttings started late last summer. The one on the right is already at seven feet. These guys are vigorous.
As they are all in pots it will be a simple matter to finesse their location. This also makes it much easier to keep up with pruning, feeding and watering. They are getting lots of TLC.
More Ruby Tuesday

That mandevilla is gorgeous! I have tried several times to grow one - can't seem to keep it past the first season! I wonder if keeping it in pots would be better?
