Best pink rose for repeat and long-lasting blooms?

Hi can anyone recommend a climbing pink rose that is good for long-lasting blooms - (I.e blooms for months), and repeat blooms? Will be a north-facing spot.

I have Gertrude Jekyll in an open east facing spot and it gives me two lots of flowers. There is a house around the corner from me with a beautiful pale pink rose which is still flowering, I think they are E facing, possibly NE facing. I’ll see if I can find it.

ah, just spotted that you want climbing. Mine is shrub and the one around corner isn’t climbing either.

This one seems quite nice and suitable for a north facing wall

Constance Spry suggested below is once-flowering I think.
Mary Delaney (previously called Mortimer Sackler) and Generous Gardener are very good repeating, vigorous climbers for me but they’re in sunny spots. Gertrude Jekyll has a couple of big flushes then sporadic blooms most of the year and is often recommended for north-facing walls. Vicious thorns so I wouldn’t put her somewhere you have to walk past.
New Dawn is a good repeat-flowering pink climber and Mme Alfred Carriere (pink-tinged cream) is great on north-facing walls but gets absolutely huge.
