I'm not so sure that that fence would be good for your woodrose to adhere too. I planted a bunch of morning glories last year along my Aunt's iron fence, and they could not grip onto the slick bars. She even tried helping them, and they would not stay put. Just throwing that out there for ya mate.

Thanks hey, this is the sort of advice I need... the reason I started this thread.
I could run some large gauge hexagonal wire along it, wouldn't cost much and would give the young tendrils something to grip onto and wrap around. I think it would turn into a hedge then without a lot of effort.
Sound logical?

No problem man, and I was thinking that you could do something similar to what you just mentioned
I think once they get going good, they would then be able to take over that whole fence no problemo

Looking great. The MGs are already sending out runners and grabbing nearby plants. When/if it stops raining they're going in the ground.

Growing well, caterpillars have had a little go at the HBWR, but the MG's are ready to climb. Already the large tree stock tubes are growing roots out of the bottom of all tubes. Ready to plant already.

Probably weekend though till I can rig up some chicken wire for them, wasn't expecting them to explode like that under 90% shade. They'll totally own that fence in a year the rate they grow. Just insane even in nursery conditions.
Will move them to harden a little to the edge of the nursery, so they get full sun till midday for a few days, then plant them out.
Got a couple of stragglers come along too, so 4 HBWR and 7 MG's for the fence. Will be interesting to see how they sort out their territorial issues.

Just to update this. The HBWR are just going nuts, this is just one of them.

I'm just starting to see the first flowers on that one now. A couple have opened but it's absolutely covered in buds. Can't wait to see it in full bloom.

First flowers have dropped off and weaver ants are guarding the nectar around the seed pods.

Plenty more where that came from though, so many ready to bloom.

There's about a million green seed pods on it now, it's no doubt waiting for the cool and dry change in May to open them.
