I have a 7 foot soil/rock face behind my home, hoping a climbing hydrangea would grow up. Will it send its roots into the soil as it

grows? I am hoping I can plant at the bottom of the slope without support.

Yes, climbing hydrangea should grow along a rocky slope. They climb by aerial roots, that cling to rough surfaces. It does prefer a rich, moist soil, so add amendments to your soil at the base if it needs it. And they can be slow to flower, so patience is needed.
