  A trellis dripping with green vines and vibrant flowers is a romantic addition to any garden's style. When they are just starting out, new flowering vines will need help in reaching the trellis. Use short pieces of string, stakes or netting to guide the vine to the lower part of the trellis. The choices of flowering vines for a trellis are many; base your choice on the plant's foliage, flowers or ability to attract birds and butterflies.
  
  

Climbing Rose

• A climbing rose is not a true vine and will require being tied to the trellis for support. Climbing roses require little pruning as they are not very vigorous. Dead wood and faded flower stems should be pruned back to the next vigorous (healthy, growing) bud. Examples of the climbing rose include climbing Peace rose, climbing Crimson Glory rose, Iceberg rose and the Handel rose.
  
  

Rambling Rose

• These vigorous growers flower once a year in the spring and will also require ties to attach it to the trellis during training. Hundreds of species and cultivars of rambling roses are available in all colors and sizes. Proper cultivation and cultural practices will depend on the specific plant.
  
  

Clematis

• Although clematis plants are considered difficult to grow, if their specific needs are met, they will thrive. Pay special attention to the exact species or cultivar of clematis to determine its cultural requirements. After transplanting, clematis vines need to be pruned back to the lowest pair of vigorous buds. Subsequent pruning schedules during training depend on which species of flower is growing. Clematis will require some ties to the trellis until it is established, at which time it will begin to climb on its own. Most clematis plants prefer full sun, or at least six hours of sunlight per day, and rich well-drained soil.
  
  

Wisteria

• Wisteria grows well on trellises and climbs by twining or coiling around the structure. According to the Ohio State University Extension, two species of wisteria are the most popular among home gardeners: Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) and Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda). Each of these two species grow to about 25 feet tall, making them ideal for relatively high trellises. To train wisteria on the trellis, select a healthy upright stem to be the "leader" and fix it to the support using string, twine or plastic ties. Prune off the other side shoots. As the leader grows, it will develop new branches, which will in turn grow new flowering side shoots. Wisteria prefer full sun and moist, nutrient-rich soil. When transplanting wisteria to the trellis, prepare a hole 2 to 3 feet in diameter and about 2 feet deep. Mix compost or peat moss into the native soil, about 1/3 of the total volume, to improve fertility, drainage and aeration.
