Climbing ''Compassion''- ! Still buds and blooms appearing here and the plant has produced literally hundreds of blooms from early November. I have to cut blooms off every year during pruning. Healthy and disease resistant the flowers are lightly fragrant and perfect for picking. Red coloured stems add colour too. I love mine. Lots of pics if you google. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I'm going to suggest either Mutablilis (which, in my garden, is hardly ever without a flower) and the other which always surprised me is General Gallieni. It is not uncommon to have hundreds of flower heads - even at this time of the year, which is nice as most others have really done their dash.

I love Paul Transom, a very vigorous rambler which has is covered in apple blossom pink scented flowers in early summer and then had spots of them all summer. Mine still has a couple but the frost yesterday came too soon. It is one you need to be prepared to take the clippers to as mine grew 3 metres in two years. Now completely covers a deck railing. I tied it up at the start and now either weave the new ramblers in or chop them off. The flowers are very full, like a lot of the David Austin roses. I do like the sound of General Gallieni.

I agree with Crepescule I still have masses of flowers on it at the moment and Albertine is another that just keeps flowering.

Uetersen has beautiful deep pink flowers , lovely shaped flowers, + dark green leaves that don't seem to get diseased. Had against the house 1 for 20 years + P Nth. It's not easy to get, you may have to order it. Westmoreland is a lovely apricot + does well too.
You cannot go far past Dublin Bay, beautiful deep red flowers.

Another vote for Crepuscule. Ours is covered in buds again and has been flowering since last spring. Mutabilis flowers all the time but can get rangy if not pruned well.

I had one of those. Had vicious thorns. I let it grow the suckers and ended up with a gorgeous, lovely smelling old fashioned rose - without thorns. Cut the original bits away.
