I've decided to plant a fragrant fast growing evergreen vine in the area near my pool next to the fence (see picture). The area gets full sun. Some suggested roses, but I don't want something w/ thorns near the walk-way. Another suggested a rose without thorns, but I couldn't find one that was fragrant. Any recommendations?

The vines Jsorens suggested are all nice but not really fragrant. I would suggest Trachelospermum jasminoides (Star Jasmine) if you don't mind it possibly rooting into the wood a little.

Yeah, I do wanted something fragrant. How long does the star jasmine bloom?

In zone 7b it usually starts in mid-April and then blooms sporadically throughout summer. And it smells heavenly!
