As I said, post your requirements and constraints. I could suggest
a dozen such plants, but all are unsuitable for many conditions.

I posted them earlier, Nick. I'm looking for something that will cover
a fence that is roughly 25 foot long by 5 foot high. I want something
with small flowers, easy to maintain, and which will also mask the
fence, which is quite unsightly. I'm not sure about the soil, but the
fence is south-facing. There used to be blackberry bushes there, but
we had them all uprooted years ago. (Although shoots sometimes still
appear through the lawn!)
