Hi all,

Two years ago, after visiting the Duke Gardens when the roses were in full
splendor, I decided I had to try roses. I chose a hybrid tea (Touch of
Class) and a grandiflora (Fame!). Miraculously, they have done really well
with not much care. The only disappointment is that these two varieties
don't have much fragrance.

This year, I just bought 3 more to add to my front yard, all hybrid teas:
Tropicana, First Prize, and Peace. I seem to remember my parents' Peace rose
being fragrant, but the package doesn't seem to corroborate that. Anyone
have any of these 3 varieties, and are they fragrant?

The Japanese beetles didn't bother my two existing bushes, so maybe I should
be happy if the new ones aren't very fragrant!
