Well, yes, but the only real problem is wanting them evergreen;
much as with hedges, where there are just two reliably hardy and
reliably evergreen ones that make good hedges: holly and yew.

I can grow many of the nominally evergreen climbers, but few are
reliably evergreen here. It's not a catastrophic loss.
