I also have a question and a request for planting advice: At the exit to the garden on the west side, I would like to plant something on the short side of the stairway that will climb up to the porch roof. It should be flowering and also winter-hardy. Do you have any ideas?

How much sunlight does it get there?

Depending on the variety, roses can be planted in containers, but these need to be quite tall if the rose is to thrive there long-term.

Well, I really love wisteria – it’s quite toxic, but as long as there are no children around...? And it requires a lot of maintenance; it climbs over everything and can crush gutters. But apparently, it can be kept under control. Hmm. At least it’s winter-hardy. Maybe ivy or grapevine? You just have to keep pruning everything into shape.

I would plant slender bamboo there. Something flowering can be put in a pot in front.

I wouldn’t recommend using ivy. It’s difficult to control in the long term and will eventually cover the entire exterior wall. If there is sunlight, a clematis could also be suitable.

Ivy is also poisonous.
