climber for exposed site?

[claire]

hi - a neighbour has asked me what flowering climber she can put at the front of her house that is exposed to cold wind in winter and hot sun in summer as her clematis plants always die. Any ideas? thanks

Hi Claire,
I have a few plants in mind, but could you find out for me please:
How much space there is to work with; how tall and wide do we want this climber to grow?
What is the soil like?

Thanks, George.
