Cotoneaster looks like it would be more difficult to train to grow upwards! I've only ever grown clematis as a climber and that just does it itself so I'm a bit concerned that I'd struggle with cotoneaster!
I have a pyracantha in my front garden, which is in shade until 2pm. I have cut it back to a branch and it is now about 7ft tall. It always has orange berries and the blackbirds love it.
