Hi sweetliberty
Are you a rose lover? I started my garden and got into roses and now I have too many roses and more to plant. Do you have any roses in mind?

For me the planning part, especially for privacy, can be difficult but challenging. The lattice idea sounds great. We had a house built next door to us. I'm glad we planted the screening before they moved in. It was our choice and grew a bit before they were here. You can have a lot of beautiful climbers, especial in a higher zone, that will be beautiful. Sometimes, for temporary screening I have used tall cannas and the Mandevilla vine.

I love roses. I had a lot of success with them in Colorado; less when I lived in Georgia due to pests. I haven't tried them here yet. With flowers, as with birds, I love a great variety and am particularly attracted to the more unusual colors and to those with a sweet fragrance, especially roses and irises. This one was a stunning neon orange and very fragrant:
