What sort of light does this wall get? Will the plants grow up the wall or hang over?

Rosemery, can you include a picture of the wall you want to cover? It is very hard to make good suggestions for you without being able to see the wall in question.

Hi Rosemery. A climbing rose would work very well on your wall if you add some support for it. Here is some more info for you.
