Plants to train around a wooden arbour

Yes, I like wisteria. I believe you can get smaller ones suitable for a pot? I’m thinking one of those and a star jasmine for the other side as strong possibilities.

As Minimoon says, wisteria looks lovely on an arbor. My sister had one and it was a glory.

? Doodle. Not really, no! Hang on, though, there’s a thought!!??

We have two different colour honeysuckles (one on each side) and two roses intertwined - ah. Buddha sits in the middle.

Well my dyslexia strikes again. I was sure the OP was "plans to train round a wooden arbour". I had visions of a climbing wall, a rope swing and an exercise bike in the middle. Not exactly what you were thinking of I expect Mapleleaf ?️??

I have climbing roses and clematis in pots and they have done very well, been in just over a year. Make sure you get them in good compost and of course they will need a lot of water. One rose that has really rocketed if FÉLICITÉ ET PERPÉTUE. David Austen does it, but I got one from a small garden center for about £6. It is a rambler and keeps a lot of its leaves all year round. You can cut it back, but the pot will restrict growth.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I’ll let you know what I decide. ?

Wisteria grows very well in a container. You need to re-pot it as it grows though. It can be trained over a pergola or over your arbour. We had one in a previous house growing over a wooden construction along the side of the house. It was in a large planter.

We have jasmine and honeysuckle mixed in with a white grape vine.
The jasmine flowered late spring which was then followed by the honeysuckle flowers.

The vine is now heavy with grapes.

Clematis, rambler roses, honeysuckle, jasmine, nasturtium....

We have had a star jasmine for many years and due to changes have moved it a few time. I apologise profusely to it each time, keep it well watered to help recovery and it bounces back each time! I think that would be a good choice.
