Vine suggestion for wire trellis over deck?

We are looking for a vine with the following features:

-can grow in a container

-will grow on a horizontal wire trellis

-there is full sun for a few hours in the afternoon

-provide shade for our deck in the summer

-not too messy

-loses its leaves in the winter to allow sun to hit house

-doesn't attract bees

-grows quickly

-perennial

-Washington, DC zone 7 location

All of those features would be great, we realize we may not be able to find all those features in one plant.

We'd also be interested in a more long-term option where the vine is planted in the ground and is trained up the 10' deck posts, but we believe that growing that distance would take much longer. We were thinking that possibly we could do a short-term vine from containers on the deck while we got something started in the garden below.

Any assistance is helpful here, we're totally new at this!

Thanks.

Aaron
