And euonymus fortunei varieties. 'Silver Queen' and 'Emerald Gaiety' are particularly good

This depends on whether it's your house wall, or one in your garden, guest, as well as which direction the wall faces - is it in sun or shade?
There are lovely variegated ivies - but NOT on a house wall. They grow in sun or shade - happy in shade!
Hydrangea seemannii is self-clinging and will take some shade. Pileostegia viburnoides is also self-clinging, but it's a slow grower - for shade.
Evergreen Clematis would need trellis or wires - these flower in the winter and early spring - C. armandii, C. cirrhosa 'Freckles', 'Wisley Cream', 'Balearica' and 'Lansdowne Gem'. All prefer some sun and shade at their roots.
Eccremocarpus, Lapageria and Solanum crispum must have a warm sheltered position.
I hope you'll find something in this list to suit you.
