Hi Diddles,
I'm not sure if the following information is what you're looking for, but I thought I would throw it in and you can make what you like of it....
....When I was planting my climbers I asked a similar question in my local garden center, and was seriously advised to avoid pots altogether for climbers, as, while it is fine for the first year or two, after that the plant has absorbed all the nutrition from the soil and will be dependant on what you feed it

Anyway I was strongly advised to plant directly into the soil, except for plant that you intend to change in 2-3 years, or larger specimens that you want to keep small, but if you want a climber to thrive it really needs to go into the ground.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide, wysteria is one of my favorites, a real stunner!!
Enjoy!
