Welcome Debbie digs... just a few questions....how high are your gate posts? Sunny or shady spot? What soil do you have? Sandy? Clay? I presume the plants can't be too bushy? Do you need access through the gateposts? This will help us advise you best.

honeysuckle and clematis? Colour and scent also depending on the site can be really hardy
Clematis need a deep root run, so no good for shallow soil.
