hello
I installed in my garden two scented Clematites: montana smelling chocolate and armandii apple blossom installed in the fall 2011
I want a third climber very fragrant and possibly persistent
my mini temperature of -5 degree Celsius

"fragrant and possible persistent"...

I wonder if Sweet Autumn clematis would be good for you. It can be pretty persistent and is very fragrant.

I'll add Confederate Jasmine to the list:

Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)

It is my favorite fragrant vine and certainly hardy to -5 c and below.

I love the perfume of Confederate Jasmine!

I wonder if the two can be grown together, intermixed/vined (Confederate Jasmine and Sweet Autumn). Then you get the early flowers and fragrance of the jasmine followed with the flowers/fragrance of Sweet Autumn in late summer/early fall.

Just thinking out loud, trying to get more bang for the buck! Guess I should follow my suggestions and let ya'll know how it turned out.

Hello
thank you for your advice
I thought the clematis terniflora had a deciduous foliage!
I do not like the smell of Trachelospermum jasminoides: too sweet
The foliage persitant is not a requirement
The idea of mixing two climbers is very original .. why not?

Hmm...well, if not Confederate Jasmine maybe substitute with Carolina jasmine (or "jessamine) for the earlier flowering, eh?
Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens)

Hello
I had also thought about "mandevilla laxa"
chilean jasmine

Pierre..looking for an aloysia virgata !

Bonjour
My mandevilla installed in early May died in July!
I just found gelsemium semperflorens pleno "
Difficult to find information on this specifie Carolina jasmine

I love my Carolina Jessamine, because it blooms so early...the blooms can be really appreciated, since not a lot is blooming then!

Hello Linda
Merci pour la photo
My gelsemium has survived this winter
It begins to restart after a very cold and wet spring

I like happy endings to stories.
