How do I get rid of this rose??

There was a climbing rose at our house when we bought it 4 years ago. That darn thing would climb up the bricks of our house, (there isn't anything there for it to climb. It just seems to stick to the bricks),around and around our electrical box on the wall, and then wraps itself all around the gutter. I kept chopping it back over and over and that darn thing would be back up to the gutters in what seemed like a couple of days. We have dug the bush up twice. We have dug a big root ball up with it each time we dug it up. Guess what??? ITS BACK!!! It has already grown up the bricks and it is blooming deep red flowers that are about 2 inches in diameter. There is no fragrance that I can detect. What climber do you think this might be and how do I get rid of it permanently? I want to make sure I don't ever buy one! It is also very blackspot prone.
