Thornless pink roses

Hello,

I am interested in getting a rose climber to go up the front of my north facing house. Ideally I would like it to have the following features
-Long blooming
-Repeat blooming
-Pink
-Quick to grow
-Thornless
-OK in north facing light

Any roses out that that fit these criteria Halo

I’m not a rose lover but the only rose I have had is Zephrine Drouhan. Not sure how it would be in a north facing spot but ticks the thornless and scented boxes, and keeps going if you deadhead regularly.

They’re aren’t that many thornless roses, Zephyrine Drouhin is the best known, a nice full bodied pink

Cecile Brunner (climbing) and Bloomfield Abundance (shrub) are virtually identical, tiny double pale pink flowers and almost thornless according to David Austin - my mother grew Bloomfield Abundance and I remember it as thornless

Check out the David Austin website, you can search for thornless. Mary Delaney looks like it might meet your criteria.
