An online acquaintance sent me OP seed of Climbing Devoniensis, has germinated fairly decently. Just making a mention due to the lack of offspring and possibly relevant to the ploidy situation (granted fertile triploids exist they are often the exception). At least what's here in Australia sold as Climbing Devoniensis produces fertile seed that germinates fairly easily.

There are descendants listed for the bush form.
Good luck with the seeds!

How does one think a 'Climbing Devoniensis' might go growing as a large shrub?

Although this is a really old post, I'd like to know this too. My bush Devoniensis barely grew and died, but I loved it and would consider the climber. Also has anyone had experience of propagating from the flowered shoots of the climber, as mentioned in the 1865 reference, in respect to it reverting to the bush form?

Yes. Cl Lady Hillingdon is another one that is reluctant to climb when grown from cuttings.

First, check out the prickles in my photo, and the comments in Billy's photos.

Hmm, I might try the bush again and just push it along.
Incidentally, if cuttings were taken from flowering stems of Cl Devoniensis and reverted to the bush, would they likely be repeating like the bush, or just spring flowering like the climber?

Sorry, I don't know. But you might like to read the 2013 comments for 'Climbing Devoniensis'. I am sure my climber flowers more than just spring only, but at the moment can't justify that statement.

I posted in April a photo of Patricia's Cl Devoniensis flowering cheerfully, but that's misleading - I would have been there in wildflower season. Will keep trying to find the original..

The 1922 Hazlewood reference says "Almost too vigorous in growth" . I'll stick with the bush form. The fragrance was wonderful when I did grow it.

Journal of Horticulture and Practical Gardening, 9(237): 94 (Aug 1, 1865)
CLIMBING DEVONIENSIS ROSE.
Mr. Rivers states, "This was originated from budding a strong-growing shoot, what is called a ' sport,' and thus continuing the inclination to a vigorous habit. Such sports are not uncommon with Roses; the climbing Géant des Batailles, and the climbing Aimee Vibert, are Roses in point. The climbing Devoniensis reverts to its normal condition if buds or cuttings are taken from the blooming shoots.
