Theresa Bugnet blooms all season for me. I have a couple of other climbers that are all-season bloomers, can't remember the names right now. However, one of them produces the TEENIEST blooms. They're in the "mauve" family, but the blooms are literally the size of a nickle! Talk about microscopic! The other one I also cannot remember the name on, but holy guacamole does that one have the THORNS on it! YIKES! I may have to move both of these as they're very very blood-thirsty and I have them in a not-too-wise spot (I walk by there every time I have to turn on the water). I have two other climbers, Purple Splash & Harlequin, but I don't think that they would be able to climb that high onto a building frame like what you have.

How about clematis? Or Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans). Another idea is to mix vines. Wisteria mixed in with Autumn Sweet clematis with virginia creeper and honeysuckle. That way you have something blooming all the time all growing season & the honeysuckle stays evergreen. Even grapes would be awesome, personally.

Decisions decisions!
