Since it's late in the season, I don't think it will get too awfully big. You could perhaps plant one seed of each vine and let them braid together. Both are probably pretty prolific, but again, this late in the season you probably won't get many, if any, seeds, so neither should be invasive for you when planted so late.

I planted Crimson Rambler one year on a telephone pole and by the end of fall, it had climbed to the top of the pole. But of course, I planted in spring. By Nov. it was that big and beautiful, loaded in red blooms. Below is a picture of mine. They're more pinkish red really.

MGs come in so many colors! Japanese MGs are less invasive than the old, heirloom varieties. They usually produce bigger, showier flowers too.
