Jasmines as a tribe really need sun or, at best, partial shade. If you are after something scented, honeysuckle would be a better bet for a north-facing aspect. Early Dutch on one side and Late Dutch on the other would give a long season of flower and scent

My understanding is that Jasminum officinale is good in a north facing situation - I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong - in our old house we had one with very scented small white flowers in summer. However, it did need support as it is a twining plant.
