I have a garden gate over which I'd like to grow a rose on a trellis.
The wall/gate is north facing and gets sunlight early in the morning, but
nothing during the day of course.
The spot is also quite windy.
Winters here are quite cold, say like north England or Scotlandm, with
plenty of snow. The summers can be very warm.

Does anyone have any ideas for a rose that might feel at home here?
One with a scent would be nice but not vital. I'm a bit baffled by the
wealth of choice and don't really know where to start.

From David Austin's web site:
Climbers for shady walls North facing or less than 4 hours sun per day:
Albéric Barbier, Ena Harkness Clg, Danse de Feu, Félicité- Perpétue, Golden
Showers, May Queen, Mme Grégoire Staechelin, Mme Legras de St. Germain, Mme
Plantier, Mme Alfred Carriere, Maigold, New Dawn, Mermaid, Veilchenblau.
