Do you know the name of this plant that can climb up the wall?
Question:Have you seen houses that are coverred with a plant which can stick and cover up the whole wall with all its leaves and it turns orange during fall?
Answers:
It sounds like Boston Ivy to me too. I have to warn you. ANY Ivy growing on a house or garage would cause tremendous damage . The way they 'climb' up the wall is by these little feet, that can inbed itself and actually create a tiny hairline crack, which gets bigger and bigger as the vine matures and the 'feet' roots right into the wood, plaster and even concrete like it was just butter. This way of cementing itself to a structure makes it next to impossible to remove. I have seen Ivy actually inbed itself in and THROUGH the mortar between the concrete block walls of a basement and grow through to the inside of the basement. Removing the Ivy from this residence was a slow and tedious job because of all the hundreds, no, probably thousands of those tiny feet that were inbedded in the plaster. Pulling off the Ivy require a crowbar in many places, and with the Ivy came the plaster in many places.
I strongly suggest putting up a lattice frame on the wall of some sort, that stands AWAY from the house a bit and planting anything but a member of the Ivy family.
Good luck!

clematis? I know it sounds like a disease but it's not.
While ivy is the most common type of climbing plant, it is also most commonly an evergreen. This means it stays green all year round. It seems more likely to me that you are asking about a vine. Vine plants also climb and, unlike ivy, it changes colors and some varieties even produce flowers. There are many types of vines, so without more information from you it might be hard to narrow down exactly which species you are looking for.
I suggest taking some of the leaves to a local nursery to see if they can identify it, or help you investigate vine species that are native to your local area.
