I'm looking for a white rose to grow up a 6 foot north facing fence in
the London area, and these seem to be the best bets:
New Dawn
Pleine de Grace
Rosa moschata
Although there is only about an hour's direct sunlight in the summer
months (late evening), it is quite close to two white painted houses,
which I assume must reflect some light during the day.
I already have some sort of climbing rose there and it is totally bare
until it reaches the top of the fence, but flowers quite well along
the top. What I'm looking for is something that might flower at a
lower level.
Any advice appreciated

New Dawn is a lovely rose but is definitely pale pink not white (although I
learnt a while back peoples perception of colour varies!)
I should have thought Iceberg would do ok although we can not grow it down
here.
2 cream white roses that always do well are La Perle and Alberic Barbier.
The other worth a mention is Madam Alfred Carrier
