The south west corner of my garden has 6 ft high fences which are
not mine (and one is a bit ramshackle), and there is also summer
shade from deciduous trees.

In this corner at present I have an elderly mock orange, which is
no longer flourishing, and a bamboo, of the non-invasive variety,
which is now a little too large for the location.

My plan for next spring is to remove these plants, together with
a self-seeded Hawthorn on the boundary, and install three 6 ft
trellis panels, on new posts a few inches inside my property, so
as to avoid any support issues. (1)

I would like a selection of climbers to cover the trellis, and
give interest all year.

What clematis would be happy in a shady spot? How about an
evergreen honeysuckle? What else should I consider? Might I give
myself problems if I mix plants with different pruning
requirements?

(1) Yes, I will take photos first, just to establish the history.
