Recommendations for fragrant roses to plant in my garden in Oakland, CA?

Question

I have one American Beauty bush and it does great! Very fragrant, so I plan to plant some more, and I am looking for some suggestions for other good varieties, ones that are fragrant, big roses, preferably either red or sunset colors. Thanks!

Answer 1

There are awards for modern roses with the best fragrance
http://www.rosefile.com/RosePages/AwardsFragrance.html
Scarlet, orange and yellow are the least likely to have fragrance due to the genetics of the original yellow rose from China being unscented. Roses with thin petals are often more fragrant but they do not last once cut. Austen and Carruth have specialized in breeding roses with scent.

Reds;
Don Juan has an ARS reating of 8.2 about 30 petals and great fragrance as does Etoile de Hollande

Mr Lincoln has perfect HT blooms and award quality scent. It is also disease resistant for me. ARS 8.9

Austin has Tess D'Urbervilles as climber, L.D. Braithwaite as a shrub. Both are a good bright crimson red but Tess is a larger flower with a stronger scent.

Jayne Austin-butter yellow apricot - English rose
Super Star - salmon orange - Hybrid Tea
Amber Queen - apricot orange - Polyantha
Norwich Castle - apricot yellow - Polyantha
Alchymist - yellows and deep apricot - Climbing
Elizabeth of Glamis - salmon

Answer 2

The Don Juan Rose is extremely fragrant. It is a red climbing rose. Also the Mr. Lincoln, I believe it's called, is very fragrant.

I love David Austin roses, both for their unusual old-fashioned beauty and their lovely fragrance. Many have a wonderful musk fragrance. The are easy to grow and come in a wonderful variety of colors. The shape and appearance of these roses are beyond compare.

Fragrant Cloud! I planted one last year and it was gorgeous with huge blossoms. The scent of one bloom will literally fragrance an entire room.

In a literal experience....probably by no ability. yet metaphorically conversing, while God creates the hot earth the place sin is by no ability looming, THEN the earth would be a backyard of roses....or eden ;) yet God promised he will try this sometime interior the destiny and while He does, this international and all this is issues would be *POOF* long gone. not greater dying, soreness, suffering...etc until eventually then, we be living in Hell on earth.

I really like the "tea rose"--it has a smaller stem but it has a great big bloom & a strong "rosey" scent.
