| Mar 17, 2019 at 22:55 | comment | added | Hamid Sabir | @jurp_ yes you are correct and for support, i plan or had planned on using stakes. i read somewhere that you don't need cement to hold it in place if you have clay soil like i have and that Gravel will do just fine but i believe wind wasn't taken into consideration. Anyway, its not the stakes that im actually worried about but the plant itself. I had a climbing rose in mind and with roses, wind protection is a must so im worried about the petals falling and blowing off prematurely as well as any new growth on the branches. | |

You see, we have a semiarid climate so windy conditions are a norm and since the site is a bit exposed, you feel it a whole lot more then you would if your perhaps walking around town or something. It's not strong enough to blow away umbrellas but that's not to say that we don't get days when it does. | |

Also - what kind of support for the climber are you planning on using and how are you planning to anchor it (for example, are you going to screw attachments into the wall and use wire for support? Use stakes next to the wall to hold up trellises?) | |
