Default planting climbers

I am going to plant Henry Kelsey by my chain link fence and would like to
know how far away from the fence to plant. Are these fast growers or do
they take several years to bloom.


I planted some climbers along my back fence about 18 inches from
the fence. I would not put them any closer if you have the
option.

Henry Kelsey should bloom the first year. However, here in MN it
takes a few years to grow enough wood to have an impressive
display. Henry Kelsey grew faster than John Davis, but not as
fast as William Baffin in terms of producing wood in the first
years after planting.
