Ironically, my Russian vine is struggling to survive here in France. I
planted one on the North side of a derelict old barn hoping it would
climb up some wire netting and onto what is left of the roof.

The Russian vine I had back in England was the exact opposite, a fast
growing thug.

I think they just like to be contrary. It has the perfect spot (as far
as I'm concerned) for it to run rampage! Instead it sulks.
