Climbers that grow quickly and flower for a long time

Our west facing fence has about 4 panels that I would like to cover with something long flowering. We've just taken a load of ivy off it. The fence is behind a raised bed where we have fruit bushes, rhubarb and I am planning on doing potatoes, onion, garlic etc. It gets masses of sunshine.

I am looking for something that grows quickly and is long (or repeat) flowering in white, pink, purple or blue.

We get a lot of mileage out of two climbing jasmines in our garden. They seem to grow well, even in crap soil with limited sun. While the flowers aren’t big and impressive like the rather more temperamental clematis I have in the other corner, there’s plently of them and they smell beautiful.

Trachelospernum jasminoides has covered a long stretch of fence quickly. From three plants we’ve covered six panels.

I have three clematis which between them cover my fence panels for 3/4 the year - a winter flowering one, which is out at the moment, a repeat summer flowering one and a single mid-summer flowering one which is just impressive. I do nothing with them.

Cover my fence panels in flowers for 3/4 of the year, even.

Jasmine and clematis it is then! Thank you. Do you know which varieties of clematis you have LBOCS2?

Star jasmine. I have several clematises and they flower from late spring to autumn. You can prune this time of year and it will flower on the new growth. I use two different colours together and think it looks pretty. I'm not sure what varieties they are.
Winter jasmine is quite pretty for winter colour.
Climbing roses are also an option - you'll need a repeat flowering one.
Honeysuckle is also an idea.
