I'd like some suggestions for roses that do well in hot, dry climates. I
live in non-coastal Northern California--zone 9--so we have relatively mild
damp winters with potentially very hot dry weather in the summer.

The area I'm thinking of planting is not huge so I'm mainly looking for
medium sized plants.

I'm looking for:
1. strong fragrance
2.disease resistance (aren't we all!)
3. more compact as opposed to sprawling roses
4. repeat bloomers since this will be in front of our house
5. flowers that will hold up in the heat.
6. most any color except out and out orange--I do like blends

I'm not set on any one type of rose, i.e. hybrid teas, floribundas, shrub-in
fact I kind of like a mix.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!
