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.
Training is a matter of building up a horizontal framework of branches. Do this by tying in the new growth onto the horizontal wires that you attached to the wall.
All climbing roses flower more abundantly if the branches are trained outwards horizontally, rather than upwards.
