Default A fast climber that looks good all year round?

Hi, looking for any type of climber to eventually cover a trellis 6-8 feet
high, one that flowers but also stays green during winter & doesn't
die.... For climbing up a trellis on a house wall which is shaded for a
bit more than half of the day and full sun for the rest. Preferably fast
growing...

Any ideas from the knowledgable folks in here? Many thanks.


Thanks everyone, plenty of good advice.

For the record, I did mean that I am getting 6-8 feet of trellis and will
trim the plant to fit (eventually)... not that I expected it to reach 72
inches and stop LOL
