As far as I can tell there is no such thing as a climbing rose (as in a
vine which will twine, or things with suckers to attach to walls).

The rose is a rambling rose (remember the song?) which rambles about all
over the place. If you tie it into a framework it will grow upwards and if
you lead it into the branches of a tree it will ramble all over the place
but without artificial support it just falls over.

They use the same method as other thorned climbers, the thorns curve
back ward and as the long stem pushes up through scrub they can't pull
back (bit like the barb on an arrow) Brambles do it the same way
