Climber wanted!

Help. I have just had a very old and tatty climber removed and replaced with a fence. I am hedging part of it, but want to plant a flowering climber in another part.

I’d love a rose but there is some honey fungus around so its probably not best.

Then I thought clematis but it can be very dry and is quite exposed.
Not keen on honeysuckle as it always gets aphids.

What can I plant?

My Clematis jingle bells and my chocolate vine both do pretty well, despite being exposed to high winds and/or full sun.

Star jasmine or passiflora? And yes to clematis, they seem pretty indestructible down here

Virginia creeper?? Its gorgeous in the autumn

Clematis montana is tough but others can suddenly up and die on you.
Jasmine is pretty indestructible though.
Would wisteria be a possibility?
