Have you looked into the Pavement roses? Those grow well for me. The Vigorosas do very well in Kansas. It may be that a hotter climate is needed for Vigorosas to do well since both Steve and I have success with them. I would think a rose draping over a boulder would have plenty of heat available!
I have a Sweet Vigorosa that creeps and has gone 10' in each direction.
It wasn't supposed to do that, but I decided to let it stay.
Around here, I discourage anyone from planting either wisteria or honeysuckle. The exceptions there are: Major Wheeler honeysuckle, because it truly will not sucker, and Amethyst Falls wisteria. I have it in an area that is not irrigated and it behaves well there. So far, anyway.
I took on a gardening makeover job yesterday where the main concern was how to remove wisteria, trumpet vine, honeysuckle, vinca minor and Sweet Autumn clematis. The only invasive they didn't have was Virginia creeper. The wisteria vines had damaged the neighbor's fence and were wrapped around a tree so tightly that we had to remove large limbs. Our climate is harsh--so I don't know how much more damage they would do in a more temperate climate. I make more money removing vines than i do planting them, that's for sure!
There are new cultivars of honeysuckle that do not grow more than 8' tall--one I bought this year is named Sweet Tea. There's another one named Peaches and Cream that looks promising also.
My climbing Pinkie grew to 8' tall in one year. I bought it last year as a tiny 1 gallon plant from Chamblees. This year it is over the arbor! It is even more vigorous than the 4 year old Gertrude Jekyll rose that is on the other side!
My 'Snow Goose' and cl 'James Galway' look as if they would develop a weeping habit if allowed.
They have not stopped blooming since late May, and they were new this year.
The "Pink Supreme" carpet rose is a good performer here too.
Hope that helps?
