What to grow on balcony railings?

Hello I have a lovely balcony with railings and a trellis thing put up around it. It currently as passionflower vines growing around which looks lovely but I'm not such a big fan. I was thinking of growing something else around the railings like climbing roses or perhaps honeysuckle or Jasmine? I'd love something sweet smelling but that also looked pretty with lots of flowers. My uncle recommended clematis.

What would you recommend? I'm a novice gardener so completely new to this and I've only just moved in. Is it too late to try for roses and would that be too difficult? Any other ideas?

I'd suggest both a summer and winter jasmine. The summer flowering variety will give you scent and the winter one colour when most things are dormant.

Thank you! Would they be hard to establish and would I have to get rid of the Passion flower?

Any other suggestions...what about roses?
