I need a climber to grow in the shade....

This would be to cover a fence at the bottom of my garden, but it is under a sycamore tree. The tree is pruned regularly so isn't mahossive, but no direct sunlight would get to the fence, although it is quite bright iyswim...

The other thing is, it may well have to grow out of a very large pot. When I was thinking about this yesterday, and I had a look, I'm not sure I'd ever be able to dig into the ground there because of all the tree roots.

I just fancy a bit of greenery rather than looking at the fence, but don't know if there is anything that could survive!

You would need some sun for the passion flower to flower I should think. And the fruits are seriously messy IME though in theory they should look good - used to have one in my old house.

On the rose, could it be Mme Alfred Carriere? I haven't seen one, but it's often recommended for north facing walls and apparently can flower till nearly Christmas if you're lucky.

A virginia creeper would do the job but you will need to keep it in check as they are VERY vigorous. I have just planted one to grow over a hideous green metal shed.
