How to take a Cutting of a Japanese Anemone
If the pot is large enough, leave it in there until you hand it over. Your friend can then check the rootball and top growth after a few weeks and decide when best to plant in the soil.

Dying Privet Hedge
The variegated Pittosporum Elizabeth could work well - one of my neighbours has a very attractive hedge of this. I liked @Plantminded's suggestion of a flowering climber for the arch itself, too.
