Climbing Rose

I have a perennial garden in Cda Zone 6 / USDA Zone 5, and am planning
to install an arbor.  I have never been much into roses, but would like
to try a climbing rose on the sunny side of the arbor. 

Can anyone recommend a climbing rose that they have had good experience
with?  Would like one that does NOT need to be pruned and buried every
winter (too lazy for that stuff) so I guess it will have to be something
hardy.  Something that will blend in with other perennials (the usual
stuff - evening primrose, lupin, bellflowers, sweet william, pyrethrum,
etc.).  Would prefer a continuous pink bloom, not an insipid pink that
fades out in the sun, but not something hot pink either.  White
variegation on the bloom would be a nice touch.

Is this a long wish-list, or what?  Is there any chance of locating a
climbing rose that would fit all these criteria?  I probably should be
asking this question on a rose list somewhere, but thought that I would
get a rose that better fits in with perennials from this group. 
Apologies to those who don't think this question belongs here.
