Question
I live in zone 5...would you recommend planting a climbing rose with the clematis and if so which rose would you go with?
Thanks

Answer
If you mean THE Sweet Autumn clematis, this plant is a thug and if you plant a rose with it, the clematis will end up chocking the rose to death. This clematis can grow 20 feet in a season if it is happy. Perhaps you meant some other clematis. We have one across the road that has escaped and it is now covering 50 feet one way along a fence and up a tree to 30 feet another way.
