Cream/ ivory rose for north-east facing bed

I'm on the hunt for a cream/ ivory/ very pale yellow shrub rose for the end of a north-east facing bed. It gets a few hours of morning sun each day so not completely shaded, but plants in that bed tend to grow stretching towards the light so needs to be pretty upright/ sturdy. I have a Lichfield Angel in the same bed already which is very happily growing but I have to tie into an obelisk or it flops forward!

Any suggestions?

How about an alba rose? Beautiful foliage and very shade tolerant. I'd go for alba semi-plena, but there are others in your colours.

Try RV Rogers or TrevorWhite.
