ᐅ Trellises for climbing roses on or near the exterior walls of the house?

Some of you may already know our house, which was built and completed in 2022. We are now gradually starting to plan the garden and the outdoor areas. For now, we are just considering options before making any final decisions.

Since I find the exterior of the house a bit, let’s say, "plain," and I like a romantic touch, I would like to install trellises or other types of supports for climbing plants on or in front of the rear walls facing the garden (and possibly in the medium term also on the front facing the street). What do you think about this? Do you have photos of your own or other successful setups? What are the advantages and disadvantages, and what should be taken into account? The originally planned path around the house, about 80-100cm (31-39 inches) wide, would be interrupted where the trellises are to be installed. Does anyone have experience with this and would recommend or advise against it?

A neighbor of our previous house had a rose garden almost directly on the property boundary next to us, and I immensely enjoyed inhaling the scent of her roses in the evenings.

Roses are a dream. Hardy, deep-rooted, and easy to care for.

Now I’m not sure what you want. I threw away my rambler rose yesterday. Although it is considered heat-tolerant, it was always affected by heat buildup, and this year it was the end for it.

Climbing roses planted 70-80cm (27-31 inches) away from the house wall survived the summer. Their blooms and growth were somewhat weak, but they are now catching up.

My first thought is a climbing aid for cats, raccoons, and the like. 😳 Ivy and grapevines can also grow indoors out of the socket and reach up to the roof. 😱

We have all of that near our house. It is definitely maintenance-intensive, that’s true. But it’s nice. 😀

Not everything that looks good on an older building suits a new build…

Check if you tolerate ivy. The one from my neighbors causes strong itching for me.

For the house wall itself, I would only use plants that need some form of climbing support.

Clematis are also beautiful and diverse.
