Suggestions for Climbing rose

I am hoping to plant a climbing rose to train up my front porch this fall. Going for an English cottage look. Full sun all day in hot central texas zone 8 - disease resistance and repeat bloom are important. Fragrance would be nice if possible and I am not picky about color as long as it's not white which blends with the house. I am new to roses (been at this only a year, folks on this forum have been an amazing help). Here is my short list - comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you.


1. Old Blush - I have one in the backyard that is just starting to bloom this year. Pretty flowers

2. Peggy Martin - have a very young one in the backyard, too early to tell. Is it a repeat bloomer ? Reports of repeat after a few years ?

3. Zephyrine Drouhin ( doubts about repeat and disease)

4. Climbing pinkie ( just planted 3 in the backyard this past winter. Not sure if it is tall enough )

5. Crepescule - this looks lovely, but not sure of its longetivity

6. Elie Bouvillain - pictures look lovely, but don't know much else about it.

7. Reve dor - looks lovely and is earthkind. Reports of not blooming too well in the fall ?

8. Climbing SDLM - does it perform well ?
