need a variety recommendation

hey all,

not a new gardener exactly, but pretty new to camellias. I am looking for camellias for a northwest wall. perfect world, they'd be tall, columnar almost, and bloom all winter. I'd also prefer magenta or deep pink to red or white, but that's more negotiable.

I was thinking I have room for about 3, and could do 1 japonica and 2 sasanquas or vice versa, to expand my season of bloom. they'd get plenty of shade in the summer, but in the winter they'd get full sun in the afternoon. for the same reason I am not needing cold-hardies particularly, begonias overwinter in this bed.

is any of this doable? or will I have to sacrifice some of my want list to get the rest? i.e., long bloom VS color VS height/shape VS sun tolerance?

thanks.
