Default Plants for chalky soil ? Any pointers ?

HI there, re-designing my garden.
The garden is on very chalky soil ( generous abouts of small flint ).
Any advice on chalk-soil loving plants which would add colour and life
to the garden. I am looking for the wild, natural, sprawling effects
with nice colours for the flowers / blossom. Area - South Bucks /
Chiltern Hills. Notorious for chalky and alkaline soil. The roses in
my garden are doing remarkably well ! And I also have a Yew tree which
is in excellent condition. But the main problem is the the garden is
uneven and has a steep bank which needs covering
Any advice would be most useful. I am looking to plant from now till
late Autumn and looking for results next spring/summer. Thanks for any
help !
