For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.if you are planting directly into the soil rather than a container try a triple planting of winter honeysuckle (lonicera fragrantissima) it is shrubby rather than a climber so it will give a support structure for a scented climbing rose Guinee is lovely a dark plummy red with heady fragrance or Zeph Drou as than the normal one)
Most shrubs only flower for a month so you might want to think of something to underplant it with.
I would suggest one of the mock oranges (philadelphus....coronarious, microphullus, belle etois, avalance) and underplant with stocks, blue petunias and marigolds.
I grow Trachelospermum jasminoides on our front wall and it smells devine all summer.

Daphne odora, lovely and very strong smelling plant, we have one growing in the garden centre where i work and you can smell it from over 20ft away.
