Spreading climber
Spreading climbers are climbing plants that climb up other plants, trellises or even rocks with the help of long, bulky shoots; they have no specialized climbing mechanisms such as tendrils or the self-climber's adhesive organs. The hold is created by the shoots spreading in their environment: the relatively stiff shoots gain height, lean against the climbing aid and fix themselves through transverse drives and can then gain further height. To support the fixation, the spreading climbers often have strong spines or thorns .
Examples of spreader climbers are blackberries , climbing roses , burdock bedstraw , winter jasmine and winds .
