A climbing flower
 

Hi
I am a new horticulture student and i would like to get some experience with some flowers. I'm going to plant a flower-herb garden for my family. I am having trouble finding a hardy vine that i can train to grow around an arch. do any of you have any sugestions? I live in New Hampshire it gets somewhat cold in the winter.
thanks.

Sorry i wasnot thinking temperatures get down to -30 C.

Flowers don't climb but some plants do.

Lesson number 1.

You are growing plants.

The flowers are only the reproductive organs of flowering plants.

Did you do a Google search for hardy vines?

Ah - north end of the state. Good luck. You might try a fast growing annual
instead

Thanks for the help, i'll look up some vines and try to find some climbing annuals.Don't worry, i know the difference between flowers and plants.

The key is "hardy to zone 4" (most of New Hampshire) or "hardy to zone
3" (very northern tip). There are several varieties of climbing roses
that will be hardy under such conditions, as are most clematis. Indeed,
growing roses and clematis together on an arbor is a classic garden
pairing.
