A beautiful rambling rose growing one side of the wall has now met my virginia creeper coming up the other side of the garden wall. Will they coexist along the top of the wall in the long term?

This is possible, but careful management is needed. Both are vigorous growers, so regular pruning is essential to prevent overcrowding and ensure balanced growth. Designate specific areas for each plant to reduce competition, and monitor their growth to ensure neither dominates. Adequate fertilization will help both thrive harmoniously in the long term.
