| A friend of ours recently got into roses and when we visited he showed us his collection. He had NO fragrant roses and I think all were just body bags grabbed from whereever. They were doing pretty fabulously though. My husband and I will be heading down that way again this summer and I would like to give him a lovely rose or 2. I think he will be proficient and can grow whatever. Any recommendations for a really scrumptious rose? Something smelly and big and beautiful. My 3 main criteria would be 1) Fragrant 2) prefer steady, good bloom production (but a once a year show stopper works too)-- just no stingy roses 3) scrumptious (thinking Madame Isaac Periere or Sombrieul etc.) ...perhaps some of the more recently found roses like Grandmothers hat, Old town Novato-- but that is just where my head is. Whatever it is - it shouldn't be a dog locally prone to defoliating and getting otherwise nasty. |
