In most cases, they'll remain small. At any rate, that's what happens with the types of roses I like the most -- hybrid teas and large-flowered climbers. Most of those were never meant to grow on their own roots and need to be grafted onto a more vigorous rootstock for peak performance.

Souvenir de la Malmaison, Paul Neyron, and Madame Isaac Pereire will grow well on their own roots, but the other roses on your list would do better if they were grafted.

The David Austin roses do better on their own roots than hybrid teas and large-flowered climbers do, but they also benefit from grafting. I have a few own-root Austins and they're nice, but they're only half the size of my grafted Austins, even after growing in my garden for many years.
