Advice for scented cover

[qwerty565]

Hi,
   I'm looking at what sort of scented climers to use for my shed to cover it and to put along my fence. There's a few that sound good, Hydrangea, Honeysuckly and Jasmine but they're so many different types I'm not sure which one to get. The shed is 13' x 10' and the fence is a normal picket type with a run of about 60'. I would like to plant the best scented types with the longest run of flowers, any advice please?

Honeysuckle "Belgica" is one of my favourites as it is very highly scented.

be wary of jasmine, we had a white variety that sent runners everywhere

If you're thinking of Hydrangea do you mean climbing hydrangea?  If so be careful if you're putting it over a shed as it's very vigorous & you might lose the shed under it  Montana clematis are nice with a nice scent but again vigorous, I have a couple in pots which checks their growth.  Lots of different scented honeysuckles about, if you plant them properly you should have one in flower all through the season.

My favourite scented climber  is  trachyspermum jasminoides (star jasmin) evergreen - takes pruning, longlasting flowers - they last here for over a month. Nothing seems to eat it or fester on it and it makes great wildlife cover. Takes a year or so to get established but worth the wait.

Or could use a rambling rose.  Can't beat them for scent.

Good evening Qwerty and welcome to the site. For scent you cannot beat Lonicera periclymenum, which includes the variety Belgica.

Do you have a preference over evergreen, deciduous? That might narrow your choices down

With that big an area why don't you plant a mix, that way you get a longer flowering/scent season
