Rosa filipes "Kiftsgate" is described as vigorous, but liking sun.
How much does it grow in a season when small, especially when it
gets only a little sun (it will get more as it grows)?
And similarly for Halesia monticola.
Both are in good loam.
Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

Kiftsgate being vigorous is a little of an understaement. A friend gave me
two cuttings of this wild animal, they struck easily and are in good loam in
a salty enviro. They were planted to cover an unsightly garage and have gone
over the piched roof in three seasons and accelerating.

Thanks. It has a 20+' hazel to climb up. I was a bit taken aback
by Bean's description of one 60'x40'x30' :-)
Never mind Brer Rabbit, that's big enough to hide Brer Bear!

It's a gorgeous monster. I knew one that had overtaken a fully grown walnut
tree and come across into my garden and colonised a couple of trees in
there. It's not a rose to be planted lightly but it is wonderful when given
its head.

I may have been over-ambitious, but the hazel is actually several,
and there is a mature walnut tree next door - it is also 15 yards
from the nearest house.
