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?

Evergreen makes it tougher.

Hydrangea petiolaris will be OK on a north facing wall and has nice
flowers in early summer. Bit slow growing though.

And FAR too big for the location when it does grow.

Ivy in one of its variagated forms is an option I suppose.

I can also second J. nudiflorum and Garry elliptica. Clematis
cirrhosa might be OK, too.
