Rambling roses
for except  totally evergreen.   How big does it need to be?  Does it have to be a rambler?  One of my favourite roses is Buff Beauty, which is a creamy yellow hybrid musk rose which  grows into a very large bush or can be used as a climber.  Here are some by Sue 5

Paul's Himalayan musk rambler/ Mme Alfred Carriere
against a south-facing fence - it was fine - in fact absolutely gorgeous (although plagued by black spot in some years, but then so are many others). Paul's Himalayan Musk is a glorious rose and will grow 12 feet wide and 30 feet high, and when I say will by Rose lady
