white dog rose
My 2p is it might be worth adding a complimentary white rose.
Dog roses generally have short lived flowers that can't be deadheaded. But you do get the benefit of nice red rose hips to give some extra colour into winter. Hence why I think the two together would work well.

Hmmmm, can't remember ever seeing any rose hips. Maybe it's not a dog rose. It's definitely a climbing rose with white flowers. It's fairly vigorous - grew to over 6 feet tall, pulled the old wire trellis off the wall, and then grew upwards by another 6+ feet. That took some shifting!

Funnily enough, the thing growing up the middle of the wire trellis is a white dog rose. There's a purple clematis to the right of it, and something else of a climby nature on the left. Honeysuckle, I think.
