That's so beautiful, Kristine...this summer you need to post more pics of it...wow!!

I'm in Portland (Oregon), and Bolero, Life of the Party, Firefighter, and Perfume Factory are terrific bloomers with amazing fragrance. Virtually no disease on mine.

Perfume Factory was new for me last year and it was a prolific bloomer.

Perhaps I need Perfume Factory lol

Yes, you do, Kristine!!

I live within an hour of Seattle and some of my most fragrant are Dames de Chenonceau, Antico Amore and Young Lycidas

Oh I forgot Duchess de Brabant-she’s really good too!

Kordes- Summer Romance, Bliss Parfuma, Madame Anisette, South Africa, First Crush. Earth Angel tended to ball up.

Julia Child, Scentimental, Neil Diamond, Sweet rose of Mine, Bolero, Firefighter.

that's all I can think of for now, that i have either personally grown or seen at Point Defiance that do well and have a high level of fragrance. I hope it helps!

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions and amazing photos!! Kristine, memorial day looks smashing. Rosecanadian, I might have to get perfume factory!!

Dorian - I think you should. :) :)

I'm in the Northwest, just not the Pacific Northwest, and I second Young Lycidas for scent and beauty. What a rose. And another wonderful rose is Rouge Royale with a great scent and does so well in bouquets. RR is a Meilland Romantica. Diane

Diane - SWOON!!! :) :)

I'm in Seattle and grow some fragrant and disease resistant roses doing well in my garden: Bolero, Dee-Lish, Le Petit Prince, Earth Angel, Fragrant Memory, Olivia Rose Austin, Midnight Blue, Garden Delight, Princess Alexendra of Kent, Sharifa Asma, Hansa, Blanc Double de Coubert, Country Dancer, Marie Pavie, Maggie, Rhapsody in Blue, Strike It Rich, Ispahan, Marianne, New Dawn, Renae, Étoile de Hollande, Cl., Teasing Georgia. There are so many! LOL.

I had high hopes for Earth Angel however, the downward facing blooms (weak necks) and balling put me over. I eventually axed it even though it was extremely healthy and disease resistant. Did you have balling with EA?

I am outside Portland up at 1600 ft and my most fragrant (lat year) were Alchemyst, Madame Isaac Perriere, Albertine and Eden Rose (Pierre Ronsard).
