Can anyone recommend a low-maintenance, reblooming climber that can reach the top of a two story house? I'm gardening in Central Texas.

Look for Noisettes and climbing teas. Antique Rose Emporium in Texas should be able to advise you.
Are you thinking of any particular color?

If you like yellow, might I suggest 'Cl. Sun Flare', AKA 'Cl Yellow Blaze', a most excellent, IMHO, climbing floribunda. It shoots up canes straight to the eaves of your house in its' first year, foliage is shiny and pretty, rather like the foliage of 'Captain Thomas', blooms in pretty clusters all summer, and never fades to pink. That last is important for me; the older flowers fade to a nice soft yellow. One warning, some plants are afflicted with RMV, so you might want to check the foliage. The flowers are semi double, and open to show the stamens, so it will attract bees and butterflies.
In Texas you have the world of Noisettes and climbing teas and Bourbons to choose among. Sigh. I am becoming green as I type.

What is an everblooming red shrub rose that tolerates drought well? I need red, not pinkish red or light purplish red. Red. For a specific place in my garden's color scheme.

What climber would you get to compete with a honeysuckle plant? It would probably have to be something that doesn’t need much pruning, as I eventually may not be able to reach it through the honeysuckle.
