It's those pesky roots that cause the problem. Add a layer of coarse sand mixed with compost.....far more sand than compost. Then try planting ajuga or english ivy. The sand/compost gives you a shallow planting bed until the roots hopefully find their way to any available soil.
If you are in the West or an arid climate I highly suggest looking at this site for plant ideas: www.highcountrygardens.com

I am trying sedum in a similar situation. I planted last Fall - I can't tell quite yet if I am successful or not.
I am zone 5 also.
