Suggestions?

with roses many modern ones (usually called hybrid tea roses) flower
continually but do not smell much. Old fashioned ones often smell wonderful
but only get one big lot of flowers a year - they look wonderful (and smell
wonderful) this once but then are just covered in leaves. If you want a rose
which flowers continually and smells strongly it is best to buy one by David
Austin - sometimes called English Roses - they tend to cost more than the
others but, I think, are worth it as you only buy them once Also you
quite often can either find them reduced in Autumn at garden centres or see
offers in magazines where you can buy several at once at a reduced price.
