Alas, my mother grew beautiful roses (climbers, tea, American Beauties, etc.) back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s in suburban Maryland. I've never had much luck with them in Maryland -always black spot. As for fragrance, I lost my complete sense of smell back in 2002 due to a rare sleep disorder so my enjoyment is visual and any sense memory I have of what any roses smelled like.
@tantefrancine, I saw where you listed Behnke's Nursery (in Beltsville, MD). I lived not far from there and always shopped there.
