I got sick last fall and all my perennials dried out :-( I had a beautiful climbing rose in a large pot on a trellis in the west-facing corner of my balcony. It gets a lot of wind and afternoon sun. The rose was great to provide a windbreak. This year I'd like to try an annual vine that can take the wind. I might plant another climber to take the place of the old one, but I'd like an annual vine to provide coverage while the new rose grows. Any ideas??

Here's what it looked like last June.
