Lady Banks Rose
Thornless vine type rose. The world record is in England and
one rose covers an acre! Fear not-- just trim it yearly after it
blooms in the spring. Stunning display of flowers for a few
weeks. |
Wisteria
In Texas this plant is very easy to grow. In New Mexico this
plant seems reluctant to really get going. If you really want
one there is no substitute for those purple grape like clusters
of blooms. |
Trumpet Vine
In Texas I have seen this plant grow under a house and come
up on the other side—really! In most of New Mexico the soil is
so dry that it doesn’t get that carried away. (in the Corrales I
have seen it growing over 50’ trees.) Cut it back every year
after blooming and you will be rewarded by some wonderful huge
reddish-tangerine blooms in summer. |

Carolina Jessamine
This is the vine for people that don’t want a vine that
takes over the neighborhood. Semi evergreen with stunning yellow
blooms if fertilized and moderate amounts if you don’t
fertilize. Sun or shade. This one likes water but if it’s on
drippers then that’s no problem. |
Honeysuckle
Many varieties available. Grows like a weed and looks like
one too if you don’t occasionally shear it to promote new growth
especially at the bottom of the plant. Evergreen and an American
standard. If you don’t like to trim at least once a year then
don’t pick this one. Sun to part shade. |
Silver Lace Vine
Vine Blooms white in late spring. A real showstopper when it
blooms but very aggressive. Must be cut severely at the end of
each season or you will have a woody mess. Full sun to Part sun.

Purple Leaf Honeysuckle
A better photo is coming. All Honeysuckles are tough vines
but if you don't cut it back and try to stimulate new growth
every year it will eventually get leggy and woody on the bottom.
So fertilize it with a high nitrogen fertilizer, shear it at
least once a year and water it regularly to keep it looking full
and healthy. It's semi-evergreen, grows fast and has scented
blooms.

Vinca Minor
Vine for trellis or great ground cover for shade to part
shade. Evergreen, cold tolerant with wonderfully delicate blue
blooms in spring

Mike,
We were looking for the WOW factor and we certainly got it
with the beautiful work you did in our backyard. You and
your crew were very professional and easy to work with.
We now have a beautifully landscaped backyard that
compliments our pool area and resembles a fine resort.
Thanks so much for such a gorgeous job. Please feel free to
use us as a reference.
