    That looks great, @OwdPotter . I'm getting inspiration from your plant combinations to complement the roses, too.

    Those ramblers trained on see-through trellis would really work for me, if I can get hold of some PVC netting. What size holes does your PVC mesh have, please? It looks bigger than clematis mesh, which is what I can get over here in Ireland. But I suppose ordinary metal sheep mesh would work, though it's not as attractive as your version...

    Thanks @Liriodendron
    My pergola netting grid is 100x50mm. It is called Apollo, Heavy duty pvc coated wire netting and comes in 10m x 1.2m rolls.
    Got mine from screwfix at £36/roll.

    That's helpful, @OwdPotter . It is indeed available here in Ireland from Screwfix! Thanks very much.

    I've made a note of that as well, so thanks @OwdPotter.

    I'd be interested to read your updates on GdF to see how it compares with mine. I planted it in the corner of our 'orchard' with the intention of training forward to the south, mainly along a stout rope swag and through some old cut down cherry trees. What I'd forgotten was our south westerly winds which of course keep trying to blow the canes backwards! Silly me.
    It's now two years old so I have high hopes of it taking off next year.
