Can anyone suggest any vigorious scented-colourful climbers

Lonicera x italica, Lonicera periclymenum, Most rambling roses, Clematis
montana, Clematis Betty Corning, Hydrangea petiolaris, Passiflora
caerulea,
Trachelospermum asiaticum. Just a few suggestions.

Er, some of those are colourful only if you include white and cream,
others are dubiously scented and the roses are dubiously climbers :-)

Choice is not huge if they are also hardy (there are more than above!) but
you didn't say where you were.

I can't think of a single vigorous climber that is definitely colourful,
definitely scented and hardy in Cambridge. You can get two out of
three, but not all three.

As Mike mentioned, Wisteria should fit the bill. Mine's 4 years old and
looks like it's about to flower for the first time!
