  You'd lose the flowers as they do it on old wood and stems whereas group 2s and 3s can do it on new stems made that year.

  I didn't realise you already have the montana so, if there's nowhere else it can go you'd better plant it there but be prepared for wrecked trellis.  In the scheme of things, a broken trellis won't be that expensive to repair, just a PITA.

  The problem is that the whole garden is surrounded by fence so it will always have the same problem. So there are not many other places to put it. 
  
  I was thinking perhaps I can just let it grow in a big pot and a small trellis against a wall and hope the pot will keep it reasonably sized?
