Can anyone suggest any vigorious scented-colourful climbers


Lonicera x italica, Lonicera periclymenum, Most rambling roses, Clematis
montana, Clematis Betty Corning, Hydrangea petiolaris, Passiflora caerulea,
Trachelospermum asiaticum. Just a few suggestions.


Er, some of those are colourful only if you include white and cream,
others are dubiously scented and the roses are dubiously climbers :-)

Choice is not huge if they are also hardy (there are more than above!) but
you didn't say where you were.


I can't think of a single vigorous climber that is definitely colourful,
definitely scented and hardy in Cambridge. You can get two out of
three, but not all three.
