I grow one vine of canadice, and in my climate (eastern ma, zone 6, less 
than full sun) it grows up.  It always looks like it's trying to get into 
the nearby oak tree, in fact.

Hmmm, maybe it can tell the tree is there from the pattern of shadow and 
_is_ trying to get into it.  The part on the other side of the arch is less 
upright.  None of it ever droops, however.

foresee mildew being a major concern either.

have an upward growth habit (train arms on bottom wire and let them climb 
upward) or if they have a drooping habit (train arms on top wire and let 
foliage hang downward).
