Default Plants for new garden at this time of year?

I've just had our garden completely removed and re-landscaped at long last.
Trouble is, it's a lot later in the year than I'd planned. I'm looking for
some planting suggestions for things I can buy now and will survive the
winter.

The garden is south facing, has reasonable drainage and quite neutral soil.
One side fence is mostly shady but gets a little sun. The back fence gets
continuous sun all day, as does most of the other side fence. The two sides
have two flowerbeds each. Currently there is a climbing type rose on the
shady side and two healthy but out of control (gonna prune hard this
autumn!) bushes on the sunny side. The bottom of the garden for about the
last 5m is woodchiped with a stone circle in the centre. I'm hoping to put
some small potted trees on that bit to brighten it up.

Any suggestions for any of these areas would be very welcome )
