Karen and CS: I think Sharifa Asma is an excellent suggestion. It's good for zone 4 to warmer and has a strong fragrance. Here on northeastern Long Isalnd we had over a week of extremely high humidty, in the 90's (warnings about air quality). Here's a picture of this rose from a couple of days ago - it thrived regardless of the weather. I bought this as a band about 3-4 yrs. ago - now it 's about 4 feet tall. As you can see, it's showing so signs of blackspot - never has.
