I would be inclined to use one of the viticella group clematis ~ they have slightly
smaller flowers but lots of them, flower slightly later than the large-flowered
clematis which would extend the display time, and are easy to prune if grown in a
tub~just cut whole plant short in spring. Available in reds, purples, white, etc.

| Have a look round to see if you have a local rose or clematis specialist
