Will a trelis built against the side of the house with all vinyl siding
damage the house? I just got some climbing roses and didn't really plan
ahead where to grow them. The side of the house with lots and lots of empty
space gets full sun and is perfect for roses except for the sloping grade
which may lead to watering problems, but I've got a fancy dancing-water
sprinkler I'm going to set up permantly to keep it irrigated. #1, should I
keep the trelis away from the siding, and #2, should I redesign the garden
that slopes downhill into a stair-step type design for irrigation reasons?
It'd be a lot of work, but I've seen it done and it'd be do-able.
