Flowers don't climb but some plants do.

Lesson number 1.

You are growing plants.

The flowers are only the reproductive organs of flowering plants.

Did you do a Google search for hardy vines?

Ah - north end of the state. Good luck. You might try a fast growing annual instead

The key is "hardy to zone 4" (most of New Hampshire) or "hardy to zone

3" (very northern tip). There are several varieties of climbing roses that will be hardy under such conditions, as are most clematis. Indeed, growing roses and clematis together on an arbor is a classic garden pairing.
