    Hi,

    First thing is what is the name of the plant and then what is its natural growth height.

    By the looks of those vertical growths it seems like one that easily does 10 -20ft.

    Trying to keep one below 6ft will require a lot of attention to tie it in etc.

    Perhaps consider a type thats grows smaller, see this link for different ones which show thier height, or use something more suitable that repeats flowers or for longer like clematis etc...?
