'Jayne',

Probably best if you choose your rose from this site:

The President is a popular and attractive clematis. It needs no pruning
except for tidying it up to your satisfaction.

I am looking for both a climbing rose & a clematis to pretty up the
front of
my house once it has been repainted. The rose will be planted to the
side of
the garage in a bricked raised bed & the clematis will have to be
planted in
a container to climb up my porch.
I would like long flowering plants - a blue or purple clematis & a
pink or
lavender-pink rose.

Any suggestions as to which ones would be best?

Thanks,
Jayne
