You could plant evergreen Clematis such as C.Cirrhosa varieties there - they flower from late autumn through the winter, depending whish ones you choose. I think that C.armandii might be a bit too vigorous once it got going - it grows up to about 20'! The cirrhosas grow up to 10', so theyd cover the fence. Honeysuckles will also grow in shade, and Euonymus 'fortunei Silver Queen' surprisingly, will also climb if allowed to! Hope this helps.
