In the opinion of the authors climbers can and should be introduced onto historical objects. The specificity of the latter determines the presence of plants and imposes the observation of certain principles: 1. The historical object is assigned priority, and the introduced plants should accentuate its aesthetic and historical qualities. The climber appears only as the “guest” of the object. 2. All activity concerning historical objects and plants should aim at the restoration of old historical configurations. Historical monuments are testimony of past epochs, and thus should reflect, as faithfully as possible, the former spatial organisation of interiors, panorama and vistas. Newly created configurations, granted contemporary forms, should be adapted to the historical surrounding. 3. The rule of shaping vegetation should be based on the principle of natural qualities and freedom, with the retention of the character and style of the given object. Property introduced plants supplement the composition of the object. 4. In those cases when climbers start dominating the object, the plants should be restricted by suitable steps (e. g. pruning) or even eliminated. 5. Plants may be applied only on suitably prepared and protected objects. 6. All decisions and intervention as regards historical objects, including the introduction of plants, must be coordinated with appropriate conservation agencies, which supervise the objects, and be subject to their surveillance. The specific properties of climbing plants, which often have direct contact with historical material, require exceptionally well planned and bold undertakings. The great merit of the climbers is undoubtedly the ease and speed with which it is possible to obtain the desired effect. Other important traits are the possibility of growth and upkeep in conditions of limited space and slight access to light as well as small requirements as regards cultivation and feeding.Those features are of great use in conditions of compact development, which is often typical for historical objects — urban complexes, castles and fortresses. The suitable use of climbers is the simplest way to draw attention to the given object, and underline its rank as well as aesthetic and historical excellence.
