Which climber is best for quick screening?

[CagneyNLacey]

Help! I'd like to put some quick growing screening between neighbour's backdoor and mine. It would be against a fence down a side path between our houses, in partial shade and I'm not a great gardener so would have to be low maintenance!

Was just looking at images of clematis Huldine which looks nice but the space between the fence and back door is only about 3 foot so worried it would be too thick, plus it's not evergreen. Jasmine also looks nice, as does Ivy. I like the idea of opening the backdoor and getting lovely scent of jasmine but according to rhs it takes up to ten years to reach full height.

Aaarrgh! Too much choice for a novice! Has anyone any advice on what'd do the job?

The trouble is anything fast growing is going to need cutting back at some point. I wouldn't have ivy; it's too rampant and invasive.
What about a leafy covering like Virginia Creeper and a slower growing pretty/fragrant plant to intertwine?

Jasmine is a really fast climber - we have a plant which regrows to 10 ft every year, despite cutting back savagely in the autumn! If we don't cut it back, it is still green and bushyish in the winter (but we do have a south-facing garden in London, and it is in the sunniest bit!)

That's a good point about cutting it back! Hadnt thought of it like that

Like the idea of the creeper and then a second fragrant plant intertwined, thank you!

Sorry, typed post then had to see to baby before I posted it. I think I might get jasmine too, if it's as quick as that as my garden is really overrlooked so I have a few places I need quick growers in. I hadnt realisedclimbers could be so quick so had been looking at small trees.

How about a climbing rose?

Arent roses quite high maintenance though? They look lovely but I'm a crap gardener!

Not necessarily, and you can google "care of ..." any plant to find out what to do.

How about an evergreen honeysuckle? That has lovely smelling flowers.

Not in my experience. I'm not particularly green fingered but I always seem to do well with combing roses and very little maintenance. They just need dead heading when in bloom.

Cagney how about a combination for year round interest? For example: summer jasmine plus winter jasmine plus clematis montana rubens. All fast growing, hardy, will probably need a bit of cutting back after 2 years!
winter jasmine flowers in dec/jan/feb
clematis montana in april/may
summer jasmine in july/aug
and all smell lovely.
nne are prone to disease which can be the problem, with roses otherwise an eglantine wild rose might be lovely.

Sorry for delay in getting back to this, thanks for the ideas. Think I will get a selection of climbers as have quite a lot to cover/screen. I've bought 2 clematis montana elizabeth and will prob get 2 jasmine like you suggest, funnyperson, and maybe some honeysuckle.

For the clematis, am I best putting trellis on the fence or just wire do you think?
