Popular Flowering Climbers for New Zealand Gardens

New Zealand gardeners are spoilt for choice when it comes to climbing plants with flowers nz. Here are some favourites:

Roses

Few climbing plants match the romantic appeal of roses. The Rose Albertine is a standout variety, valued for its vigorous growth and clusters of fragrant pink flowers that bloom from spring through summer. Train this rose along fences, pergolas, or arches—its old-fashioned charm and delightful scent make it a top pick for both urban and rural gardens.

Clematis

Clematis species thrive in our climate and offer an impressive range of flower colours, shapes, and sizes. These climbers prefer sunny spots with roots kept cool and moist, making them easy to pair with other shade-tolerant plants like Carex maorica (NZ Sedge).

Jasmine

For those seeking a scented alternative, star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) delivers gorgeous white blooms and a sweet fragrance. It’s semi-evergreen and copes well with cool winters, ideal for patios and entryways.

Wisteria

Wisteria’s cascading floral clusters make a feast for the eyes every spring. It’s perfect for covering pergolas or creating dramatic entrances. With proper care and pruning, wisteria’s elegant appearance and purple-blue flowers are second to none.
