Virginia Creeper will provide a fast, dense solution, with a spectacular red
colour in autumn, and is self-clinging. It is not evergreen though, and
leaves
dead twiggy bits on your wall in the autumn when it dies back. There are
roses
that are very vigorous (e.g. Kiftsgate and about 4 or 5 others, all with
cream
or white flowers ).


Kiftsgate is *far* too vigorous for a garden wall. It needs a 30 ft
mature tree. Virginia creeper equally - it will be just far too much of
a maintenance problem.
