What climber would you choose for around our front door?

[Littlemissadequate]

We live in a 1920s house and looking for a climber to grow over around our door.
I have tried an internet search but I’m totally confused so wise people here is my wish list...
Evergreen, ideally with colour changing leaves.
Abundant flowers for a long period or flowers then berries for interest
It would need to be in a container, but it could be very large.
Fairly quick growing
I understand there’s sure to be a compromise needed on one of these wishes.
It’s south east facing so fairly sunny but we are in the north east!

We are new to gardening and desperately trying to learn so all advice very gratefully received.

I’d look for a repeat flowering climbing rose. Zepherinie Drouhin is thornless and has a lovely old rose scent, it would suit the age of your house.

Trachelospermum jasminoides (star jasmine)
Clematis urophylla 'Winter Beauty' - lovely waxy white bell-shaped flowers in winter
Pyrocantha - prickly but robust evergreen with red berries in winter

Which way does the door face ? Understand your light levels first then go to a very good large garden centre and ask them questions

If you're happy to plant up a very large container then why not layer your plants? A low growing evergreen specimen leaf plant at the bottom with a couple of climbers rising above and around the door.

You can get Daphne x Transatlantic Pink which is highly scented and flowers April-October and a honeysuckle Lonicera x purpusii Winter Beauty which flowers December-March , but they're going to loose their leaves. You could underplant with a low level evergreen of interest.

There are lots of websites which will recommend companion or complimentary planting and you don't have to buy from them, but use their inspirations and shop wherever you prefer. The above ideas are from Crocus, who also have this, which is quite beautiful

Thank you for all your help.
It’s a tough decision I like roses and it’s great that they’re evergreen but those ones look a bit vibrant for me.
I like the star jasmine. I think that’s my favourite am I right in thinking the leaves change to red in autumn? That would be very beautiful
Our door faces east, I hope it will suit
I love starjumps idea of layering the planter. What would work with star jasmine?
I could get a really large planter and place a trellis on the wall.
Thanks again for making this decision much easier for us.

Whilst not in pots nor with colour change foliage, wisteria is extremely popular here and is truly stunning. To get huge takes ages but then so do roses but some neighbours have planted mud size obes which already look great in their first year.theyre magical to watch throughout the year.

Yes reddish in autumn winter which is highly unusual as generally only plants that lose their leaves do this. How about a clematis alongside - they lose their leaves in winter (although there are some evergreen ones too), and will scramble well through another plant. There are a lot to choose from - this one has two flowering seasons each year

I would second Star Jasmine, a really hardy plant that looks good all year round.

Thank you all.
Star jasmine is our winner!

Pyracantha looks wonderful around a door & is flowering now, berries later on. You can get yellow, red or orange berried varieties. It's not strictly a climber but is easy to train along walls or around doors.
