I would very much welcome your recommendations for a climbing rose for a south facing wall about 7 feet wide and 10ft high - repeat flowering and very fragrant - colour not a consideration - Thanks

I had a climbing Ena Harkness that I planted at my previous house for a
similar sized wall.

A beautiful classic red hybrid tea fragrant rose and didn't outgrow the
space while I was there (7 years). I was quite sad to have to leave her
behind.
There may be newer roses that might suit you better though, I've been in my
present house 26 years. I'll leave others to advise you about what they
might be.

Do you want large flowers varieties or small flowered ones? With flowers at
head height or is your priority to cover the wall even if most of the
flowers are at 10ft or more? Are you happy getting on ladders to prune 12ft
tall roses? Would you prefer less vigorous varieties that, say, got to 6 or
8 ft?

Well "Gertrude Jekyll" is up to 8ft, repeat flowering and very fragrant but
maybe the flowers are too big. Likewise "Tess of the D'Urbavilles".
