What can I plant on the wall behind my herbaceous border?

Climbing Roses In The Herbaceous Border. (3) Pruning and Training.

Removal of dead wood and faded flowers is really all that is required for climbing roses.

All climbing roses flower more abundantly if the branches are trained outwards horizontally, rather than upwards.
