Climbing roses for pots/semi shade

We are looking for some hardy (its a bit colder and windier here than most of the UK) climbing roses to grow on the front of our shed which will do well in pots, and will not mind the fact that they will only get sun in the mornings. Specifically, we would like something a peachy/orangy pink colour- ideally the colour of Japanese Quince 'Geisha Girl'. We have already identified 'Maigold' as a possibility although more yellowy than the sort of pinky peach I had in mind. (The shed is painted light sky blue). Any suggestions please?

Thank you AnniD, that looks like an excellent suggestion and i'm assuming that the smaller the plant, the more likely it will be to succeed in a pot.... the maigold gets up to 5.5metres high, by comparison and so we are concerned might be too large to be happy potted.
