Winter climbing plants

Does anyone know of any nice climbing plants for a trellis that will flower in the winter? I'm starting to plan my little garden for next winter. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

You're a tad far north for winter flowers in Yorkshire. Possibly try Winter Beauty Clematis (clematis europhylla). Passion flowers would give evergreen leaves but may be unlikely to flower in winter so far north.

PS - there's a "t" in earth!!

Best solution for a warmer winter - move to Cornwall Whistle Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

I dont know much about gardening! I will check out the clematis. I was wondering if i can bring a little colour to the garden in the winter. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

SWMBO suggests Winter Flowering Jasmine. A small leaved climbing plant with lots of small yellow flowers from October to late February.

Good call Bob - according to the RHS website "Jasminum nudiflorum (winter jasmine) is fully hardy and can be grown outdoors throughout the UK."

Stevie - If you haven't looked at the RHS website, do so - it's a goldmine of information on all aspects of plants. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

Is this the effect you are after Stevie?

Bit of a colour clash with the Alpaca leather but black interiors are so drab Exclamation

Hanging baskets - genius idea - thanks Stevie, the little coat hooky things are perfect for dangling them - not on the driver's side of course. Something fragrant perhaps - sweet peas might do nicely.
Cheers,
Robin

Mr. Green
Not sure if her indoors would be keen on that - she is well fussy but thanks for suggesting a reliable source.
I suppose if he can do organic corn fed it would be fine.

Apologia - pansies is not right.

Cause they are cyclamens apparently - sorry.
Now just need another Special Programme - HBC button please Mr Landrover - for Hanging Basket Control. Hopefully it will adjust the roll angles and ride comfort so that the hanging baskets swing under full control on difficult terrain.
