Default North Wall shrub please

In article ,
says...

We have a scruffy NNE facing brick wall that we want to cover.
The wall is about 8ft long and 7ft high, with an overhanging
roof. There is an 18 inch wide bed between it and a path.

SWMBO wanted an evergreen Jasmine, but they are not at all
shade lovers.

What can folks suggest for an evergree/flowering/preferably
scented/easy care shrub that would be suitable for such a
position?


In an identical position I grew garry elliptica James Roof.
Evergreen, trouble free.

You could have some sort of dry-shade ground cover too.
