Cool Looking for my perfect rose

Or as near as possible. My first rose project...

Needs to have as many of the following attributes as possible, in order of importance:

* Available in UK
* A climber, to trail along mini trellis on top of fence - 1 meter up, 1 meter along each way.
* A classic, deep red English valentine rose (Google the classic red 'Mr Lincoln' for desired appearance).
* Small, tight country cottage size flowers. Anything oversized or overblooming is not the ticket in an English garden! Understated is the keyword ; )
* An overpowering classic rose pong.
* A tollerant plant considered easy to look after.
* A popular rose with history that can be Googled for help.

Not too much to ask for, lol!
