    Any of the following would be suitable once you improve the soil through the addition of well-rotted compost/farmyard manure or a peat based compost.

    Parthenocissus- self clinging, deciduous, Great fiery autumn colour

    Lonicera- requires support, deciduous or evergreen, Yellow/red/purple flowers in summer

    Jasminium nudiflorum- may require support, deciduous, Yellow flowers in winter

    Hydrangea petiolaris- self clinging, woody wall shrub or climber, deciduous, flowers white in summer

    Hedera helix- self clinging, evergreen

    Chaenomeles- woody wall shrub or climber requires support, deciduous, red/pink/white flowers in spring/summer.

    Have a look at all of these in your local garden centre.
    The staff should be able to advise you as to the individual varieties of these particular plants which are available
