Winter interest for rose garden

Hi there,

I have an ugly west facing fence that I want to hide. I have 7 pink roses (3 climbers) to plant here and will put some nepeta in front for ground cover. 

My question is, what could I grow behind them to get some fence cover over winter? 

Thanks!

    Variegated ivy?

  • Thanks for the reply. Would Ivy drown out the roses or would it be controllable? Any species?

  • There are some evergreen clematis you could try and a winter flowering one, I think is called 'Freckles'

    Yes Ashleigh Cirrhosa (sp) Freckles is evergreen, also comes in white.

    Underplant with bulbs and corms maybe.
