Glenna Partridge Garden Design The tall plants are standard roses. If you in a zone that has winter temperatures that fall below freezing the plant will lose it's leaves. You would prune the top (round ball) just like you would prune any other rose.

Sarah Walters What kind of white roses are those?

gregory lens High,

It is BLUE WHISTERIA, ( I am not sure if I spelled it correctly) but it has purple long flowers during spring, and then it looks wonderful against the house, you will have to cut it every week, as it grows fast, if you want to keep it tight. But it gives my house a wonderful look during spring and summer. best regards Gregory

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The latin name is Wisteria floribunda. Here's a link for more info
