My first choice would be Yellow Jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1262/index.html

It has an abundance of small yellow flowers in the spring.
It isn't as messy as say Pink Jasmine.
It has a bright green semi glossy foliage.
It grows like a weed.
It is easily found at all nurseries including the big box stores like HD.
It comes in 1 gallons on up, also often found already trained on a frame or small trellis.
It is relatively inexpensive.
It can be spaced 6-8' apart and in a year you should have good coverage, definietly the second year should see excellent coverage.

It will require some sort of apparatus for climbing. Pretty much anything will work, nails/hooks with twine strung in a pattern, nails with wire, anything to give it a grip til it gets established. I chose to use expanding bamboo frames.

I just love the stuff. I prefer it over climbing roses for cover or Passiflora or Pink Jasmine.....can't think of anything I don't like about it. Here's an image that shows the Yellow Jasmine in the background beginning to cover the bamboo frames.
