Your shrubs are probably some sort of Euonymus...here are the ones in Plant Files, maybe you can find a match. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[com... There's some sort of scale that they're susceptible to...if you can post a picture of the stuff you're seeing on them maybe someone could confirm whether that's what you have or not. Or Google Euonymus scale and I'm sure you'll find some pics.

For your cascading plant--you don't mention what zone you're in, but if you're in the zone 7 part of VA then you might consider one of the trailing varieties of rosemary. They look really pretty cascading over a wall and do grow pretty quickly. They do attract a lot of bees when they bloom though so if people are going to be spending a lot of time in the area then you may want to consider something else. Here's a pic of mine--plants are about 2 yrs old right now.
