Hi folks.

I live in New York and I have a rusty (but sturdy) old 4 foot high chain
link fence right next to my house, and I want to cover it with some kind of
vines to get a little privacy and block the view of my neighbor's messy
yard. These are the qualities I am looking for:

1) A perennial that remains full and green year-round

2) Dense so that it covers the fence thoroughly.

3) Fast growing, but not invasive and should require minimum trimming (I
don't want to be rude by having it take over my neighbors yard).

4) Has strong sturdy stems so that the vines can grow a foot or more higher
than the fence itself.

5) Is hardy (disease/drought resistant and has good tolerance for winter).

6) Area has very little shade, so it must be able to handle long periods of
direct sunlight.

7) Produces nice flowers.

It is also desireable (but not essential) that the flowers on the vines have
a long blooming period and produce a nice scent.

Thanks in advance for your tips!
