Shade-loving shrubs:
Butcher's Broom
Sarcococca confusa - wonderful winter scent.
Rhododendrons and azaleas [acid soil needed]
Euonymous "Emerald 'n' gold"
Ferns are worth considering.
I use the RHS Plantfinder to track suppliers :

As to roses for tubs, I find that the Scotch burnet rose does fine and needs little attention: Rosa spinossisima [it comes in pink, cream and white]. {David Austin Roses will supply]
