Vines for desert gardening

The Coachella Valley Water District offers a guide to vines suitable for water-wise desert gardens. As they note, vines can provide as much shade as a mature tree in only a few years.

One of their selections is the Rosa banksiae, or Lady Banks rose, which is a vigorous grower to 10 or 25 feet. It can clothe a substantial home or arbor.
