Can Anyone Recommend Orange or Coral Thornless Climber?

I have a gazebo that has blue outdoor type curtains and mosquito netting. I want an orange or coralish orange climber to put at the doorways on two sides. It can be an antique or HT etc as long as it blooms alot! Is this too much to ask? lol
I was going to use Tangerine Skies but then I got to thinking about thorns and wind and the gazebo mosquito netting...
If anyone can recommend a variety it will be you guys! :)
I suppose it could have a **few** thorns but I would have to clip off any near the netting etc or it could tear it up.

I like Crepuscule and it can look fairly orange or apricot. William Allen Richardson might be more orange ..I don't grow it so I am not sure what it's like in terms of thorns. I have a fairly new Cl. Royal Sunset that doesn't seem very thorny so far. Blooms start out fairly orange but quickly fade to a buff color. I think seeing the various colors at once on the plant is lovely.

Crepuscule on obelisk:

Cl Royal Sunset

Elie Beauvillain Not thornless but not as thorny as some. It's a warm buff pink with coral reverses

But I guess the overall effect is more of a light pink

I just ordered a Coral Dawn plant but it's probably very thorny as it is a child of New Dawn.

What about Leander? It has few thorns . It's vigorous and more bs resistant than many Austins.

check Crepuscle. I do not grow it, but it came to mind in the color range and thornless features. I do not know anything regarding this seller, i just clicked to see their description.

Oh I totally forgot about Crepuscle being thornless! I have it in a trellis in the back where it is pretty neglected and it thrives. I think I could cut it way back and move it. It will be a big job though lol.

erasmus, Such beauties in your garden!!

I love the colors on Cl Royal Sunset & Leander. I will have to investigate those two.

I had Elie Beauvillain but it died, booo! It was a very tiny plant that had a rough time in shipping. I may try again. Her photos are so lovely.

Beautiful roses! I so wish I could grow Elie! Such a pretty rose. Now I’m suffering from zone envy (sigh). Lol.
