Vines on a wood house? No. There are ways but I'm too lazy. Vine clinging to stucco/stone, below,
a case of desire from Italy. Can't do it with your wood home? No problem. Espalier a woody shrub.Whatever your zone, choose a hardy woody shrub and espalier the pruning.
Abelia, viburnum, hydrangea, camellia, tea olive, and more can be planted & espaliered.
.
Use a woody (Why woody? No wire/trellis needed.) shrub as a 'vine' on your wood home.
.
Don't buy shrubs already espaliered, buy big shrubs and prune them into espalier. On camellia, and many others, this saves over $100+.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Carolina jessamine was growing on my baywindow. Gone, too much work. Espaliered a huge oakleaf hydrangea, 2nd pic from bottom.
