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.

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.

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

I'm looking to add colour to the garden from September.
What I would like is a couple of flowering climbers growing on a trellis at the back of the border.
I already have in another area of the garden Clematis Montana which grows well and two variegated ivy climbers.
Reasonably quick grower which can be kept in check. I'm not young enough to be waiting years before a result.
