which rose type?

I would like to grow a rose plant(s) along the length of a dry stone wall c. 9 metres long to give a hedge effect. The wall stands about half a metre high and is west facing/sunny with a bigger drop on the other side of the wall. I would like the plant to stand above it and drop over it in a loose informal manner but there's not much width available for a large bush. What sort of rose should I look for shrub,climber etc ? I've never grown a rose before and the different types are bewildering!

There is a lot of choice but have a look at the david austin website as they give some good advice. Wild Edric is a good repeater, scented and worth looking at. You will need a number of roses so wait for bare root to get them cheaper.
Kiftsgate would easily cover the entire length with a single rose as it is a very vigorous rambler and you get small hips after flowering.
