Keep us updated on the pergola.
My OH loves them. I can take them or leave them, but I'm trying to work out the use-case for one in our garden. It's either;
A. at the back to act as a visual draw to the corner, but would need to be designed to hide some practical shit behind.
B. On the terrace to give some dappled shade. But then will it give enough shade to eat under? And will it block light into the dining room?Personally I'd go for a rose you like from https://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/
Maybe call them and ask for advice. I won't bang on about the one we have, cause I know I always do.

If you can get an established star jasmine you may have better luck than me - mine were very small to start. Even with no flowers it's a nice plant. Then combine with some sort of camellia. There are so many varieties that you should be able to find something that suits your soil and location.
Idk if you know but GQT publishes the plant recommendations along with the questions. So you could browse the old questions as someone must have asked this.
