A better White Rose
I couple of years ago I purchased a white climbing rose named Clair Austin, while it is very lovely, it doesn't perform as I would like.. the blooms are more pendant than I need them to be, it really needs a high wall to give it's best show so you can see it from below, well this I don't have so I think I need to replace it with a white climber that will produce in your face blooms, not ones pointing at the ground.. Any recommendations would be welcome.. my wall is only 6' high so it would have to live happily there.

Do not mix up with the shrub rose iceberg
Go with that too fidget. Good strong erect climber with strong upright flowers.
Thanks for your replies guys.
Climbing Iceberg looks like a good contender, but I read it has only a light fragrance. Are there any with a HUGE fragrance?
TIA

A GOOD ROSE.
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
Thanks for your advice guys, I decided to go with the Iceberg Climber after all.. there was a great offer at Dobies at 2 for £20.
