Rose for a picket fence?

Hello
I am looking for a thornless rambling rose repeat flowering to scramble through a 4 ft fence, so I can't have anything that grows to tall I guess, any ideas? My friend recommended to look on David Austen which I will do just wondered if anyone had any recommendations of any, thank you! Also need to be pale pink

I'd really advise against a rambling rose. I bought a house with one in situ, it flowered for two weeks a year and the rest of the time shot out huge thorny stalks which had to be cut back. Also covered in mildew and aphids.

Roses are high maintenance.

Zephirine Drouhin.

Deep pink, thornless, scented, perpetual flowering. Could easily be trained along a 4ft fence.

There are small ramblers like Ghislaine de Feligonde that repeat flower. Have a look at DA, Peter Beales and Trevor White - they all have good search/filtering facilities on their websites.

Repeat-flowering shrub roses?
