Which climber?

I would like to know if Montana is a good one to climb up the front of the house.
1) Does it mark the house?
2) What does it do in the Winter?
3) What do you consider to be the best thing to climb up a house (if it isn't that) that doesn't go crazy and looks pretty for quite a while?
Thank you

Montana is quite vigorous and will go up a house, but it will need something to climb up like trellis or wires which it will cling to with its leaves. So it won't mark the house. In winter it will lose its leaves. It will only flower in late spring, but looks gorgeous when doing it.
Is it a north, south etc wall?
My favourites are roses.
