Climbing plants for pots

Hi, I have a garden arch that is set onto the edge of my patio. I would like to have a climbing plant to cover the arch but it will need to be grown in a large pot, so one either side of the arch. What would be suitable to be grown in large pots which is also a quick grower? I am clueless with plants.

Thanks

Banksaei Lutea Rose It is thornless, early flowering, grows rapidly and smells divine. It is very supple to wind over an Arch. It won’t have lots of flowers in its first year but after that it just increases it flowering prowess year by year.

A contrasting colour of clematis would look stunning growing through the rose, or a winter flowering clematis for when the rose is bare.

Excellent idea. Mine grows with Warzawskia Nike which is a deep burgundy and flowers quite late. I get a beautiful overlap and then the rose supports the clematis. I once saw a wall planted with Lutea and lots of Ameythist coloured clematis.
Viticella Dark Eyes, Etoile Violeta, Rasputin and Gypsy queen. The pale yellow of the Lutea and the co trusting violet was stunning.
