I have another jasmine that isn't as fast growing as the confederate jasmine, Jasminum nitidum, common called angle wing jasmine. Smells just as wonderful but easily kept confined to one spot. Never has frozen and gets flowers heavy in spring, but sporadically all year long, unlike the confederate that only blooms in the spring, I have flowers on it now. I have had it for maybe a decade in the same spot and I could easily remove it if I wanted to.

I also have another vine that drapes nicely on my wooden fence, Mexican Sunflower (Senecio confusus). I does pretty well with our cold winter, and even if it does freeze back, it has always come back. It is hard to find though.

I attached some photos of the Mexican flame vine, the angle wing jasmine and the coral honeysuckle. You won't have a problem with the angle wing jasmine or coral honeysuckle freezing. But the sunflower will if we dip to the below freezing for several hours.
