Can anyone recommend a rose for climbing a tree trunk?

Well. Is the tree trunk still alive and the tree growing?
If not, you have a very wide choice indeed. If it is and the tree will
be in leaf - I wouldn't recommend trying to grow a rose through an
evergreen - then the rose should be one of the ones which is very
shade tolerant.

I have just purchased a rose to climb through a Cercis canandiensis
(Redbud) - which in these mild winters sometimes doesn't lose all its
leaves) from:

Peter Beales. RHS Gold Medal blah di blah

They have a section on roses which might suit you. Some grow to 25'
and are sufficiently shade tolerant to grow through the branches of a
larg(ish) tree. Such roses are clearly marked by a symbol.

They seem to be quite professional, only delivering when the rose is
truly ready (Bare rooted in my case). As a way to shop for a rose it
certainly beats examining labels in a garden centre. For your purposes
(if the tree is still growing) go to:
SECTION TWO -CLASSIC CLIMBERS, RAMBLERS AND SCRAMBLERS

It is also a very well crafted web site and you can search on the
criteria of height and colour.
