Suggesting for a flowering climber

What about a climbing rose? They grow quickly once established.

Not strictly a climber, more of a sprawler, but Winter flowering jasmine is evergreen and gives cheery yellow flowers in January.
Mine was trained against a low trellis and clipped each year so it made a slim dense plant about 5 ft high.
Very undemanding apart from the annual trim.

I've just put in a couple of pyracantha against my 6' wall. Not a flower but evergreen and full of orange berries all winter. Very hardy.

Clematis 'freckles'?

I've just put in a couple of pyracantha against my 6' wall. Not a flower but evergreen and full of orange berries all winter. Very hardy.

Just be careful when pruning it! It’s lethal. Great for the birds though and I love the orange berries.

My euonymus climbs up the fence and it’s a lovely yellow colour all year round.

If you want something that will flower in the winter, try a Mahonia winter sun, lovely bright yellow flowers November-March, and evergreen. It’s a shrub rather than a climber, but will grow tall if you prune it.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions I'm looking into the plant requirements.

Passion flower. then of course you get the seeds of the fruit that are edible.

There are several different winter flowering clematis (some have perfume).
Winter flowering jasmine easy to grow.

I had one that took over my whole garden ( including the washing line). I planted it many years ago and it didn’t grow, I returned home after a holiday and I literally had to fight my way into the garden! I’ve never known anything like it.

I've trained a Viburnum × bodnantense 'Dawn' against a fence. It's pink flowers (on bare stems) in winter are delightful - and it's perfume amazing!

I have a hydrangea petiolaris - an extremely reliable climber which was grown from a cutting .

Not exactly a climber, of course, but the one I planted about 20 years ago is a good 10 feet high!

It is fantastic, it's just coming into flower now and will continuously produce pink flowers on its bare branches all the way through the winter until April. And, as Hetty58 says, the scent is lovely, and pervasive.

(The flowers can turn brown after a frost but it recovers really fast.)

I'm looking at Clematis cirrhosa Freckles

It's winter flowering.

This was from another thread:

Me:
*Clematis cirrhosa Freckles
Does anyone have it? winter flowering*

Yes I do. It is on a south facing wall and quite rampant. Have to prune well every year.

But gets visited by buff tailed bumbles all winter long and the local sparrows use it as cover - it is always full of them.

Clematis 'freckles'?

Sorry, I see you have suggested this.

I have something that looks like a jasmine - but it does not smell and is called "something jasminoides" - it has been flowering since April.

This is it. It just goes on and on flowering and is evergreen so the fence is covered all year round.

Our honeysuckle is flowering now.

Clematis Jingle Bells. Mine is just starting to flower.

I have a cream version of clematis freckles, it's panted against a north facing wall, and is flowering now. There is trellis at the top of the wall and it flowers on both the north and south side.

I would definitely go for one of the evergreen, winter flowering Clematis. I also have a Viburnum Bodnantense ‘Dawn’ (for my daughter) which looks beautiful against the fence. ?

Does your cream freckles flower through to January/February (say) grannysyb?
Do you know the name please?
