AugustHardiness: fully hardyJustifiably popular,
thanks to its unrivalled, spectacular autumn
colour, this vigorous creeper none the less needs
to be handled with care.  Given a sunny spot, its
five-pointed, deeply divided, mid-green leaves
turn brilliant shades of crimson-red in autumn,
and are often followed by dark purple berries. 
It's a showstopping plant that will quickly romp
across a large wall but it needs lots of space,
regular pruning and will smother other plants it
finds in its way.  All of this make it an
unsuitable choice for small gardens or for
laissez-faire gardeners.Garden care: Provide some
support until the plant is well established. (This
may take up to two years).  Once established, tie
in stray shoots and prune in early winter to keep
the plant within bounds, paying particular
attention to stems that are encroaching on
windows, guttering or roofs.

Full review

Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus Quinquefolia) is a vigorous climber which is ideal for covering fences, unsightly walls, bin stores, and the like. Its large five-lobed leaves turn a breathtaking wine-red colour in Autumn. It doesn’t need support, as it will cling to anything. It produces tendrils with little suckers on the end which will adhere to just about any surface.
Its close relative, the Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata), will spread even further if left to its own devices.

They are distinctly unfussy in their requirements, although good soil and feeding will make them grow more rapidly. They will do equally well in sun or shade. Prune if necessary in early winter.

If a friend or neighbour has one, try taking hardwood cuttings from well ripened wood in winter.

Review of David Austin Roses Garden Centre by  CherryBlossom

Advantages: They're pretty and smell nice
Disadvantages: They sometimes attack you

...and wanted something to grow up a 15 foot wall and although ivy or virginia creeper would've done the job beautifully, we really wanted something that would flower. Clematis was out, at least as a stand alone, as it just wouldn't reach the necessary heights; honeysuckle could possibly have done the job nicely but we already had one growing on the opposite fence and really wanted something different. "What about a climbing rose?" a friend suggested. My immediate response was one of dismissal. I don't do roses, climbing or otherwise. But try as I might, I couldn't find anything else suitable and as Richard, my other half, quite liked the idea of a rose up the wall, I ordered the David Austin catalogue. It arrived within a couple of days and was one of the most beautiful catalogues I've ever seen. I'd ordered several other rose catalogues too... Read review
