If you’re looking for ideas for climbing flowers to decorate a wall, trellis, or other garden feature, you have many beautiful blooms to choose from. We’ve put together a list of some of the most popular, and stunning, climbing flowers that you might want to include in a front yard, back yard, or patio garden.
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle is a fragrant climbing flower that seems to give off its strongest perfume at dusk. This flower will surely encourage most everyone who passes by it to dip their nose in for a big sniff. When they do, they’ll get a close-up view of one of the prettiest climbing blooms we know of.
Lilac
Lilac is an evergreen that blooms in mild areas. It’s a fast-growing climbing flower that provides a lovely display of flowers during summer, and sometimes into fall.
Clematis
We love training clematis to wind around posts, up and over archways, and through other plants. When clematis have climbed down a post or up an archway, they provide a blanket of color that’s gorgeous and unmatched.
Trumpet Vine
Trumpet vine is a climbing flower that blooms from late summer to autumn. It’s a sun-loving deciduous blossom that gives off unique orange-pink shaded, trumpet-like flowers that are more than interesting. They’re captivating!
Wisteria
Wisteria is a romantic climbing flower that looks incredible on a sturdy frame like a solid trellis or pergola. This bloom needs the support of a strong structure because it carries a lot of weight at full growth, but it doesn’t look too heavy. Wisteria is perfect for gardens featuring delicate flowers as well as robust blossoms.

The rose is one of the longest cultivated and most immediately recognizable of all flowers, with almost 150 unique species in its genus, varying in color, size and shape. Hybrids and cultivars number in the thousands – many of these hybrids have little or no scent, as they’re bred for size and color. Wild roses, in comparison, have a strong sweet, heady scent. 
Cultivation of the rose began over 5000 years ago, in China, and were introduced to Europe early in the Roman Empire. They were associated with several of the Roman goddesses (notably Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and fertility), and this is thought to be the origin of them becoming symbols of love.
The sweetly-scented bell-shaped flowers of the honeysuckle add much to a bouquet or arrangement. They can be found in many colors, from pink, through purple, to orange. Symbolizing devoted affection or love, as well as fidelity, the honeysuckle releases even more perfumed scent if the stem is broken.
