I recommend Duchess of Albany.

This was her last summer and it was only her second year in the ground. She got so heavy she pulled down the very thick and sturdy trellis I have her on. The trellis is way too small for her and I intend on putting up some lattice to to have her run up the side of my chimney. I had her looping back on herself and she was trailing down across my mulch bed. She would totally grow over a pergola or an arbor.

Oh, and even though I am listed as a Z5a, because I live on such an open, windy site, I think I have more of Z4-type climate happening here.
