Bower Vines are on sale at Home depot. I can't seem to find info on this vine when I google around. I was thinking of buying them all and trying to get them to start covering our fence.

It's in the 90's in Colorado and I'm wondering if anybody has had any experience with this species or knows what my chances are of getting these to grow during the summer months.

Pandorea jasminoides is its real name - an evergreen twining climber with fragrant flowers in spring and summer, but it is not hardy unless your winter temperatures do not fall below 15°C, which I think is about 60°F. Ultimate height, where it survives, 4-8 metres by 1-1.5 metres wide. Pruning, if necessary, should be carried out after it has flowered. More info here https://www.shootgardening.co.uk/plant/pandorea-jasminoides-charisma - it mentions a specific variety of Pandorea, but the cultivation details are the same for all.

my golden hops vine This is in zone 4-5, Pacific NW. Mid June? The flowers are these adorable little japanese lantern looking things with pink/purple/green...like dried flowers. This is one of the best vines I've ever grown for the purposes you are considering. No diseases, insect problems after 7 years? Truly, don't stand too near! 3' per day is average...
