Winter interest for rose garden

Hi there,

I have an ugly west facing fence that I want to hide. I have 7 pink roses (3 climbers) to plant here and will put some nepeta in front for ground cover. 

My question is, what could I grow behind them to get some fence cover over winter? 

Thanks!

    Variegated ivy?

    Thanks for the reply. Would Ivy drown out the roses or would it be controllable? Any species?

    There are some evergreen clematis you could try and a winter flowering one, I think is called 'Freckles'

    Yes Ashleigh Cirrhosa (sp) Freckles is evergreen, also comes in white.

    Underplant with bulbs and corms maybe.
