Yes. The George Bush of the horticultural world - aggressive and
boring.

Why not describe the requirement more precisely? This group can
recommend much more interesting things that cover fences nearly as
fast. You should provide the size of the fence (length and height),
aspect (facing south or whatever), roughly the type of soil, whether
you object to the cover taking over the rest of your garden, and
whether you would like flowers, fruit, birds or what.
