I have a metal arch in my backyard and I want to train a flowering vine to grow over it. So far, I've tried climbing roses and clematis. The roses never took and the clematis is okay, but not full enough and it's nothing to look at in the winter. Wondering what vine I could use that won't turn into a garden bully.

try honeysuckle or trumpet vine. If your arch is sturdy enough you could go with wisteria but it's a heavy vine when mature.

Honeysuckle and Clematis. I grow them in Zone 5 and have no problem with them (& yes Clematis does not look grand in the winter). However, honeysuckle was flowering right upto the frost time.

Try Hyacinthbean. Big, blue-green heart-shaped leaves, small purple flowers, and in the Autumn pods with beans that can be saved for the following year in a new location. This process should researched for proper storage of the beans before planting the following year.
