Can anyone suggest an evergreen climber to cover a rustic trellis?

We already have three Clematis, two Potatoe Vines and a Honeysuckle
(all non-evergreen), and have planted lots of sweet peas to fill the
gaps this summer, but would also like something for the winter.

The soil is good (lots of compost dug into it), it gets the sun most of
the day, but is quite a windy spot in the garden.

Get an evergreen clematis, an evergreen honeysuckle, or a variegated Ivy.
I can't remeber names exactly, though the Honeysuckle might be a Japonica
of some sort, or there is anther called Henryi. The clematis might be called
Armandii or something like that: other posters will correct me. Be patient
with the
ivy, the variegated stuff is a bit slow.
