I hadn't thought of clematis for the shady side of the house - the one that has the dark purple flowers would be nice over there. The spectra roses are nice too - I've seen them (I think) at a local rose garden/amphitheatre - they had climbed really really high up a gazebo-like structure. I need to look around and see what's available in the local nurseries... went to the farmer's market today but it was so cold and drizzling - no fun looking at outdoor plants! billie -- billie hinton "A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving."
