Wisteria
a deciduous climbing shrub native to North America and Asia, with blue, pink, or white flowers that hang down in clusters. Genus: Wisteria.
Very Hardy, Grows fast after the first year or so, you can get those with or without flowers. You can make it a vine or a bush.

Sounds absolutely beautiful. You can plant trumpet vine which attracts butterflies and hummingbird–a great addition to your paradise. It comes in red or yellow. You could also grow clematis to go up one side in addition to the trumpet vine for variety. The passion flower is also unique and a conversation piece–it is purple and a climber. Mandavilla is gorgeous and tropical looking. (The passion flower and Mandavilla are warmer climate flowers). If you live in a colder climate, just cut it and dig it up and put it inside in your cellar or inside a garage. The trumpet vine will cover more completely and quickly.

Wisteria and Trumpet vine grow wild here in SC. They are very invasive and will take over.
Amandavilla, Clematis, Jasmine, cypress vine, climbing roses, there are lots. Here are some links for you:
Look at waysidegarden.com, parkseeds.com also.

Sorry, your question is very hard to answer since we do not know in what kind of planting zone you live in. It pays to visit your local nursery to find out what kind are available for your area and will do well with your weather.

I have had the best luck with both Hops and Woodbine. Hops seems to grow anywhere, even North Dakota, and it comes back every year even when the temps have hit 40 below. The same with the Woodbine and in the fall it turns from a beautiful dark green to a deep dark burgundy. The part I like the most is the fact neither have to be cut back at the end of the growing season. Your garden sounds very beautiful, good luck with the search!!
