Fig needs replacing ... but what with?

We have a large Brown Turkey fig which needs to be replaced as it has outgrown its welcome (see photo) πŸ˜‚ and, as @floralies has pointed out, it can damage pipes. I am looking for ideas please, for what to replace it with. We will probably go for a climbing rose, but just wondering about other options. Clearly, nothing that will do any structural damage, but it needs to have a good flowering season. I love wisteria, but it never seems to flower for long and, again, not sure about root damage so close to the house. It is south facing.Β 

Here is a photo that was taken last summer ... it has rather taken over but we are looking for good cover.

    Figs are lovely @ShepherdsBarn, I've never seen one trained like that before. You could always plant one and contain the roots as others on the forum have done.
