Climber for a shady wall

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a climbing plant (preferably one that flowers and not mile a minute, for a wall that gets sun for only about and hour and a half a day?
Does one exist?
I really want to grow
Something around our back door and disguise the ugly holes that our next door neighbour drilled before we arrived for his damp coursing but the wall sits in shade most of the time.

Thanks gardeners of MN.

Here's a few from RHS: www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=467

Of these, trachelospermum are my absolute fave - three in my garden at the mo - amazing jasmine like flowers and scent in summer; very good wall coverage and very compact; lovely bronze leaves in autumn (& evergreen); we also have an akebia which flowers early, evergreen again, and has a lovely leaf shape, but is a bit more 'patchy' in its wall coverage. I've had gorgeous hydrangeas in shade in the past too - but do take up a bit more space

Thank you! That's a really useful list!
