Climbing ivy.

Hello,
I always loved the look of ivy growing on a wall. I would like to plant ivy to cover a six meter long wall in my yard. The plant pictured below was in the yard when i moved into the house. I think this type of ivy is Hedera Goldchild. I nailed chicken wire to the wall and loosely used tying wire to connect the ivy.
In total I plan on planting five pots with ivy along the wall, with possibly a boston ivy in the middle to add a contrasting colour.

The pot with ivy below seems to be two different ivy plants. I want to transplant them into the pots behind, which currently have very sick rose plants in them. Would the ivy repot well?

How often will i need to water and feed these?
How fast does ivy grow?
Thanks for the time,
Bicky.
