Shady flowering evergreen climber?

So I'm not asking for much!
Does one of these exist?
A scented one?
Google has frankly baffled me.
I would settle for a pretty evergreen that loves a shady area.
Short of plonking a statue in the corner I am lost.
We have a cottage garden but frankly I'll take anything.

Any advice, most welcome.

An Evergreen variety of climbing hydrangea should work. They are hardy and some varieties don't mind shade, they flower for quite a long time too. They don't smell though.

Brilliant I will hunt one down.
I would love a smelly one but I do like a hydrangea.
Thank you.

jasmine does need a tad of sun but mine survives in shade

Try the rhs plant selector?

Climbing evergreen honeysuckle? apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/profile.aspx?pid=439 We've got one that's doing fairly well in shade.

I've got honeysuckle and a clematis on my shady fence

the RHS have a series of little A5 size books on diff types of plants and they do one on climbers with a section on scented ones, ones for shade etc- sorry cant find it or could recommend. Have found it more useful than the web for choosing plants, am sure amazon will have it.
