I would welcome any well scented, red flowering rambling rose

recommendation
for my 8½' wooden trellis arch, leading into my garden. The arch has an
east/west aspect. The west side, very near to a brick wall, already has a
young honeysuckle growing up it. As I would prefer a rose that is not too
vigorous, perhaps a climber might not be suitable?

Thank you
Martello

There are not many red ramblers, Excelsia is red while Alexandra girault is
a strong pink.

There are however lots of red climbing roses and several of the new ones are
not that huge, I don't grow any so I will leave reccomendations to others!
