Default Garden shed cover up!

Could the NG give me some advice on growing something to grow up/over a
newly erected garden shed.
I propose to plant some kind of climber on it's east facing side. I had
thought of Russian Vine but is it as invasive as I'm led to believe?
Maybe a vigorous ivy?


My personal favourite for fast cover is the Albertine rose. Compared to more
modern varieties, it is more susceptible to disease, has huge thorns and a
short flowering season, but it grows fast and IMO it has one of the best
scents of all.
