Hi all.

I'm looking for a smallish, highly fragrant flowering shrub. I'd like a
pair of them. One will be in a semi-shaded location, one will be in
full sun.

Zone 7b / 8a (South Carolina).

While I adore them, gardenias don't like me.

Any other suggestions?

What is it you mean when you say "smallish?" There are several smaller
shrub roses available with a variety of fragrances, on their own root
stock and a cinch to take care of. Consider some of those.
