Default growing roses into trees

Can you give some more indication? Bedroom height? Roof height? Dwarfs
the house?


The tree is about 30' at least and almost as broad. Would like rose to
"fill" tree. It is planted "in" a mixed wild hedge so would not matter if
the rose sprawled over that. On one side it is already underplanted with a
"rose hedge" which is doing well. My intention was to plant one or two roses
on the other side to climb into tree and possibly flower at5 different times
and hopefully fill the garden with scent. Colour wise just something that
will show up against teh tree and sky. TIA
