hi all
looking for advise/suggestions on best hardy standard roses, I have an old cottage garden approximately 60foot long with post and rail fence as a backdrop I already have perennial plants there like lupins, old lillies ,delphiniums etc,but it needs a bit of height badly and something that will continue as feature and colour when the perennials have died off

I think the setting is ideal as its an old stone house

Any recommendations of names of hardy types
Suitable space between them without overdoing it (I had 5/6 in mind)
What colour is most effective

Would all same colour look best for consistency and effect

Do they repeat flower
I am guessing they could be pricey but a worthwhile investment

Images and suggestions very welcome

Many thanks in advance:):):)
