  Trachelopspermum jasminoides. Evergreen but the leaves often turn red through the Autumn/winter even though it retains them.
  
  Fragrant white flowers in June. Needs a sheltered spot away from cold winds.

    +1 for the Trachelospermum jasminoides, but also take a look at the Clematis urophylla 'Winter Beauty', I've got a few in my gardens and they are gorgeous....

  Clematis armandii - beautiful white scented flowers in winter

     +1 to both of these. Trachelospermum and Clematis Armandii Apple Blossom planted together look great together (both being evergreen), you could plant some summer flowering clematis for year round interest.

  Yes for the Trachelopspermum jasminoides, but I find the Clematis Armanii can become an invasive mess.

    Exactly the reason I choose the Clematis "winter beauty ", it's a good pruner and a beautiful scent at a stubborn time of year.

  Here is a great list of evergreen climbers

  But personally I was brought up with Winter Jasmine, can't beat those cheerful yellow flowers in the depths of winter
