Palatine's climbers

I'd looking to add a climber next spring and want to tack one on to a current order - Pickering won't allow anymore (hopefully Palatine will). I'm looking at -

Fantin Latour
Albertine
Jasmina
Ilse Krohn Superior
White Cloud

My husband was hoping for white. I'll try, but not a deal breaker for me. He also loves our Souvenir de la Malmaison for overall look and shape and smell. I saw there was a climbing version available, but it gets too big. My preferences are low to med thorniness. Ease of control/ training. Preference for narrow base/ upright growth. Want to avoid a bushy base. Thoughts on the climbers above? Thanks!

I have Ilse Krogn Superior and love it! Its not a pure white, but a milky white. The petals don't brown when they age like many whites do either. Healthy foliage as well.

Ilse KS appealed to me the most out of those but my worry on her is that HMF warns that she needs spring freeze protection. In my neck of the woods its a bit of a red flag for me. Her hardiness is in question.
