Most climbers are going to need some sort of care, tieing in, pruning etc,
so despite what you say I would still suggest you leave the rose as it's
growing so well in a difficult situation and prune it every year to keep it
in bounds.

Thanks for the idea- oddly I had never even thought of that!

Meanwhile, any suggestions for small-ish thorny climbers that don't need a
lot of sunlight are welcome.....
