Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, and to gardening! I was hoping for some advice regarding trellis climbers please. I have done some Googling but think you may be more help.
I will be putting up some 6ft x 6ft (1.83m x 1.83m) square trellis panels. The panels will be running outwards from the house, near a window at the start of the row. The trellis will not be against a wall, it will just be held up by posts, so almost like a normal fence.
I am looking for evergreen climbers (so it looks covered and full all year) that also flower at some point (ideally white and/or pink). Also, I do not want the plants to protrude far from the trellis at all, as this will affect the light coming in the window.
So basically, is there a selection of evergreen climbers that flower with white and/or pink flowers, that will stay as close to the trellis as possible and therefore won't protrude too far forward from the trellis?
I am happy to mix various plants, such as a non-flowering climber as a base, then a flowering climber put into the mix too etc.
Thank you very much in advance for your help. Sorry for the long message.

What is your zone? I am a clematis person. There are so many variants. But most of evergreen clems grow in zone 7 and up.

Climbing hydrangeas are quite beautiful. Some honeysuckles retain their leaves during winter, depends on your zone. Clematis is good, and maybe crossvine? Please check out this website; Almost EdenPlants.com, excellent website, many vines, highly rated. Hurray! Hurray! Rolling my eyes.
