| Clematis: 'Madame
Julia Correvon' |
I've
been try to build up a flowering fence for the balcony since we moved in. Each year, one or two
new plants will join us, including clematis, cosmos, roses, jasmine, etc. Clematis is my favorite so far, because its
long flowering time, and also very simple to take care.
I
have three clematises currently. 'Madame Julia Correvon' is the first joiner,
and has been with me for more than 3 years. The reddish-purple flowers just keep
coming out from early June until November. Since it is group 3, the only ‘special’
care I took was just to cut it back once a year. It is a joyful climber to have and the bones of my flowering fence.

The other clematis is Triternata 'Rubromarginata'. It has
starry, four petals flowers dancing around the fence. I put it in the west
facing shady corner last year, and it is the only survivor which can happily flower
in that place. I moved it to the front
line this year to give it a better spot.

Climbing roses are also good for my fence. Rosa Felicia smells
sweet. It suffered heavily with the powdery mildew last year, and I have to cut
it back really hard. I moved it to a bigger pot, and it started flowering
freely again this year :)
