    I find it's best not to mix clematis from different pruning groups as it's impossible to tell which is which at pruning time and the group 2s and 3s definiely need proper pruningregimes to keep looking good.

    I would have thought a rose such as Wedding Day, Kiftgsgate or Rambling Rector would do well there and would provide a great display of floers in June followed by hips in autumn.   A summer flowering clematis such as Etoile Violette whose flowers don't fade in sun or maybe a Princess Diana if you prefer that shape and colour would provide summer interest.

    If you want a smaller rose that repeats, try planting a couple of Malvern Hills to cover the wall.   I have this, and Kiftsgate in my garden and both those clems and they all cope with wind.  New Dawn would be another good rose if you prefer pinks.
