Sue, hard pruning is about 2 foot from the ground but I think it stops it flowering for a year. (not sure tho')

The summer flowering Jasmine requires very little pruning except for thinning out crowded or unwanted shoots after flowering. I would feed Jasmine with sulphate of potash which will harden the shoots and encourage flowering.
Thanks Jan! I was happy to see it will grow in our zone. Off to a garden centre this week to investigate further....

Re: Hiding an ugly fence

Hi Jasminoides as opposed to Jasmine is hardier, evergreen and still fragrant.
Roses; Albertine, New Dawn, Seagull, all very hardy!

Ah, roses! My grandparents had great success with them but I haven't. Maybe I should try again...

Re: Hiding an ugly fence

Will roses, clematis and jasmine all need a lattice to climb?

Re: Hiding an ugly fence

Just to be awkward, what is the fence made of?
If it is metal great, grow Jasmine or any thing else, I like honeysuckle or Cotoneaster, which will grow anywhere to provide berries for the birds. If it is wood, consider maintenance, it might be advisable to grow something in front of the fence, allowing you space to do whatever is needed.
