Here's one to think about. A grand old house in Mediterranean-type arid zone 9b, alkaline soil, used to have a "Maypole". From my memory of the photo, there was a tall central post, maybe 3m / 10' high, with ropes sagging down to posts perhaps 1m / 3' high. Maybe 12 of them, in a circle around the central post, about 6m from it. (I'm happy to be corrected by someone who remembers more clearly.) Ramblers were trained up the short posts and along the ropes.
The current owners are restoring the very extensive gardens. Someone said to me that they'd probably want repeat-flowerers on the Maypole if it were to be restored. I got as far as thinking New Dawn, Awakening, Ghislaine de Feligonde - would they be safe (ie not requiring constant hacking back), and long enough? Narrow Water is shorter in my garden, and more bushy than might suit. "Hawthorndene" and Chevy Chase are said to have some repeat.
Any suggestions?
