Depending on the type of exterior you have some trellis' can be made by a series of eye hooks and fishing line so they aren't terrible expensive and don't really show themselves they just make a nice place for vines to grow. Of course that doesn't help come winter.

OP HOLLYHOCKGIRL Member Joined: May 2006 ZONE 7-8	HELLO ALL!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!! The good news is...it is the smallest wall in the yard that has been painted this horrific colour! Other than that, we got a lovely wall that is apricot...which is stunning with the foliage and flowers!!! Not necessarily a "cottage" colour...but I know I can work it out!!! I was thinking of wall mounting some trellises and growing Cecil Brunner roses and The Fairy climbing rose....they are supposed to be extremely prolific and ...well...in Winter...I just won't look out the window so often!!! LOL....Also...was thinking maybe an evergreen Honeysuckle might be nice? Hope I can find one? Anyway....thanks all for the great advice!!! CHEERS! HOLLYHOCKGIRL
