New Dawn is an outstanding climber...no disease and good repeat. It is also quite shade tolerant. It's flexible canes are easy to train. If you want a better flower, there is a sport of New Dawn called Awakening. Mine took a year before they flowered, but they are worth the wait. Completely hardy in my garden. Be warned, however, that they get big very quickly.
One rose that blooms like mad all summer with only half a days sun is Abraham Darby. It can be grown as a small climber (8ft) and has a fragrance to die for. It does get blackspot, but it still never stops flowering. It has had very little dieback during the winter.
My favorite climbing rose has to be Westerland or its sport, Autumn Sunset. Both bloom very well, and have been completely disease free for me in Pennsylvania (blackspot heaven). Westerland also has a great fragrance (Autumn Sunset is not as fragrant to my nose). I have heard reports that they are shade tolerant, but I have never grown them under such conditions. In my zone 6 garden, they can lose a few canes during the winter, but come back very quickly. In colder zones, they might not grow well as climbers.
Other roses you may check out are Bubble Bath and Darlow's Enigma. They are climbers/shrubs and are supposed to be among the most shade tolerant of all roses and bloom non-stop. They are on my want list to purchase, but I have not personally grown them.
Hope this helps.

In the Central Great Lakes (Michigan, Z5b) 'Westerland' has never retained any living cane after winters here. It also black spots as terribly as anything unhealthy you can imagine. That being said: even 'New Dawn' will struggle to survive above ground in certain winters here in Z5b. I'm going to try 'Buff Beauty ' in a protected spot mainly because I just want to see it "in the flesh", but I expect it to freeze out. One thing I've learned from Gardenweb/Houzz forums is that with increasing humidity and precipitation from, say, just East of the Rockies towards the Atlantic seaboard, the effect is around half a zone lower then farther West where it's drier. It's interesting as folks in Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. have better survivability and winter hardiness due to such factors.

Hello, for your information, the name of the cultivar of this variety is ‘Lapdila’ and its creation is attributed to LAPERRIERE (not François FELIX). Kind regards, Huyustus

Lovely blooms. Thank you for the details on what you've discovered to prevent sunburn of the blooms. "Interesting" though that you're calling a rose named for a man a "she", though.

I am quite impressed with this little bloom machine. Distributed by Altman Plants, but the only place I saw it was Costco, and it was only there for a hot minute, like maybe 2 days. And the plant looked kinda beat up when I got it, but it recovered quickly when I putt it in the ground. It has never gone out of bloom in the three months I have had it.
