Default Euonymus Fortunei height question (grown as climber)

I have two of these in pots intending to plant in the garden- Emerald Gaiety
and Green 'n' Gold (also called Emerald 'n' Gold). (Emerald Gaiety is tiny,
about 3" high, and has not apparently grown in the several months I've had
it- it is gettng harder to imagine this very small plant growing to a metre
in height- the other is about 10' high and hasn't grown either. Crocus
describes them as fast-growing. Maybe they need to be released from their
pots, although the pot size is certainly still adquate, to put it
mildly.....).

I have read that these can be grown against a wall as a climber.

The question is- do they act like shrub roses do in this situation and grow
noticeably taller as a climber, or would they remain small shrubs that will
only get to about a metre in height however I grow them?
