Ray_Gun, none of my roses hold up good in the Sacramento Valley heat mid-summer, but we had a super mild spring when they do well anyway, and come fall they do well. As far as fragrance, remembering that scent can be an individual thing, I agree with Arturo in favoring Papa Meilland over Oklahoma (and Mr. Lincoln), but here's the thing, it's a different class of fragrance, imo, and for me, Mr. Lincoln and Oklahoma are in the same exact fragrance class (and Chrysler Imperial), but OK is a bit stronger of the two.
I also love Double Delight, Fragrant Memory and Fragrant Cloud.
