Plants well-suited to my climate, may be trash in yours, and vice-versa.

Gertrude and James Galway can be grown as climbers/will get bigger than St Switun. What size were you looking for?

Even though David Austin lists Gertrude Jekyll as one of the recommended roses for shady positions, here in part sun/shade she got horrible, horrible blackspot. I love the blooms, she has the classic heavenly strong sweet damask fragrance-but I finally removed her because the bush was horrid.

If you like myrrh fragrance, have a look at Scepter d'Isle. I've not grown it, so can't comment if it will work in part shade, but it does have an intense myrrh fragrance, to my nose. (Note Tamora is a blend of myrrh plus other notes, but if you love that myrrh/anise, there are lots of choices for you.) A non David Austin rose you might like (Bred by Heirloom Roses) is Star of the Nile. You can also search for myrrh scented roses on helpmefind.com.

Sister Elizabeth, a beautiful lilac pink, very fragrant, a small rose that is doing well for me in part shade.

Jerijen -- I'm in SE Massachusetts, not far from the coast, zone 6.
Littlesmokie -- Anise! I couldn't place it, but now that you say it, that WAS in there. I have a Sambucus 'Black Lace' that's advertized everywhere as having a lemon scent, and I think, what???? To my nose, it smells heavily of anise, and I love that fragrance. Does myrhh smell like anise? I wonder where I could go to smell a piece of it. Helpmefind.com sounds like a very helpful site, thanks.
Ingrid --thanks, I'll look up Sister Elizabeth.
