I have a section of chain link fence to cover BUT it is right alongside a

Now, I've no intentions of cutting down my beloved black walnut tree but I
REALLY want to cover that section of chain link, preferably with a vine.
Has anyone had any luck getting vines to grow under black walnuts? If so,
what varieties?

Roses with a strong multiflora heritage can grow quite well in partial shade
from walnuts or pecans. Multiflora ramblers, hybrid musks and polyantha
classes of roses are ones to consider. Also, the setigera ramblers also
seem to do OK with juglone and many of these are quite large and will climb
trees to cascade down their blooms.

What a good idea! How are these types with regard to high humidity and
consequent black spot-type diseases? As long as I have you on the
line and am too lazy to Google, is there a difference between
multiflora and floribunda?
