Seeking replacement for beloved Granada

Our Granada rejuvenation experiment ended without any roots, but it was a fun experiment. :)

I'm looking for a replacement with nice scent and form to go between a lavendar rose (probably Neptune, to replace a puny Angel Face) and Double Delight. The plants below these roses include a violet Penstemon, Rose 'Lilian Austin' and Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue'.

Color: preferences include a nice yellow (like Sunsprite but taller), or a bright orange blend (bright colors similar to Granada) but not an apricot blend because Joyfulness is nearby and I want a brighter contrast here.

Size: 4' tall and wide.

Form and scent a plus, and healthy foliage a must.

I was going to post a photo but this area looks so ugly right now I can't bear to show it....

Hi Jenn,
Not sure if you are interested but Heirloom does have Granada and they are having a 25% off sale right now.

Valencia has great form and cutting quality with good fragrance. The brownish yellow would fit with the colors. It will be taller than 4', though.

You might look at Dream Come True. It's not quite as orange as Granada but it's in the same color range. Mardi Gras and Hondo are also that kind of orangey blend.

Dream come true is a very healthy rose and blooms constantly for me. A tall rose in my yard. Everybody loves it who walks by. I don't care for the look of the aging flowers but the colors as it opens are spectacular.
