That would most likely be considered a part shade situation so should be appropriate for just about any shrub that doesn't require full sun. Unless there are deeply overhanging eaves, the north side of a residence is usually a relatively bright condition - seldom much in the way of direct sunlight (often some early in the day and again late in the day) but bright but indirect light most of the day. Anything other than plants labeled for full sun will do well in this situation.

The location doesn't matter as much as the hours of direct sunlight. Now is a good time to observe just how much direct sunlight your bed gets. Here is the accepted standard for shade to full sun

• Full Sun: Fun sun means 6 full hours of direct
  sunlight. Those six hours could be from 8 – 3 or 12 – 6; anytime during
  the day. These hours can also be three morning hours, plus three
  afternoon hours.
• Partial Sun / Partial Shade: These two terms are
  often interchangeable to mean 3-6 hours of sunlight each day. While the
  terms are interchangeable, there is a default understanding. Partial shade typically refers to morning and early afternoon sun, while a plant listed as partial sun, relief from the intense late afternoon sun is needed. This shade could be from a structure or the shade from an old oak tree.
• Dappled Sun: Dappled sunlight is my favorite kind
  of sun, if I had to choose. Dapple sun is similar to partial shade. The
  plants are getting partial sun as it makes it’s way through the branches
  of a deciduous tree. Woodland plants and under plantings, even for many mosses, prefer dappled sunlight more so than partial shade.
• Full Shade: Full shade means less than 3 hours of
  direct sunlight each day, best if it’s morning light. But even in the
  absence of direct sunlight, full shade can be a bright light. Plus,
  full shade likes a filtered sunlight the remainder of the day. Every
  plant needs some sun; even those that thrive in full shade.
