Climbers for fence??


Hi Everyone,
We didn't get the long hot dry Summer as normal here on the Spanish Med. coast.  We have had storms with heavy rainfall for short periods over the past number of months and the average monthly temperatures has been lower than those of the previous ten years.  Definitely good for the garden but not so good for the tourists.  However, October has been splendid.
 
So to my query.  We have a chain link fence dividing us from our neighbours about 40 metres long.  It is 2 m high, facing east, probably with full sun until 4pm during Summer months but only a couple of hours sunshine during the Winter with the house and other trees and shrubs casting shade.  The other considerations are i) my neighbour has a 10m cypress hedge growing just at the other side of the fence ii) swimming pool waste water exits and runs along part of the fence.  I am looking for some flowering climbers/ramblers (not too vigorous) which might cope with the above situations.  Advice welcome.
