annual climber for partial shade?

I have a west facing wall, overhung by a very large bay tree. The ground is reasonably moist, it doesn't dry out entirely, but there are of course a lot of tree roots & leaf fall to contend with. I'm going to prune the bay back later in the summer and put in a climbing hydrangea petiolaris, but while it gets going, are there any climbing annuals that would do ok in that spot?

Would black-eyed susan flower there do you think? It will get 3-4 hours direct sunlight a day.

or perhaps canary creeper?

I think canary creeper would as it's a member of the nasturtium family. Ordinary climbing nasturtiums would love it. I have no experience of Black-eyed Susan, though I love it.

In our row of houses there are white summer jasmine plants on every west-facing fence - but I know that is not an annual!

thanks Bearleigh, I will give nasturtiums (of some kind) a go.

White jasmine is gorgeous, but I want the hydrangea to be the permanent occupier.
