I did wonder about your PH levels afterwoods Impret-sir But you can grow them on border-line to nutral soils if you encourage them right from the start with plenty of ericacious compost and leaf mould, forked into the planting hole, but if its really chalky in your neck of the woods then why fight nature ?
clanad's answer- mock orange (Philadelphus)is a good one and will do well in acid or alcaline soil types in a lightly shaded site.
Anotherone you may like to check out is Elaeagnus, which is not at all fussy about soil types or light levels..
